Reliability and validity of ten consumer activity trackers

Thea J. M. Kooiman, Manon L. Dontje, Siska R. Sprenger et al. · 12 Oct 2015

BACKGROUND: Activity trackers can potentially stimulate users to increase their physical activity behavior. The aim of this study was to examine the reliability and validity of ten consumer activity trackers for measuring step count in both laboratory and free-living conditions. METHOD: Healthy adult volunteers (n = 33) walked twice on a treadmill (4.8 km/h) for…

Understanding acute ankle ligamentous sprain injury in sports

Daniel Tik-Pui Fong, Yue-Yan Chan, Kam-Ming Mok et al. · 30 Jul 2009

This paper summarizes the current understanding on acute ankle sprain injury, which is the most common acute sport trauma, accounting for about 14% of all sport-related injuries. Among, 80% are ligamentous sprains caused by explosive inversion or supination. The injury motion often happens at the subtalar joint and tears the anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) which…

Abdominal obesity and metabolic syndrome: exercise as medicine?

Carole A Paley, Mark I. Johnson · 4 May 2018

BACKGROUND: Metabolic syndrome is defined as a cluster of at least three out of five clinical risk factors: abdominal (visceral) obesity, hypertension, elevated serum triglycerides, low serum high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and insulin resistance. It is estimated to affect over 20% of the global adult population. Abdominal (visceral) obesity is thought to be the predominant risk…

Novel strategies in tendon and ligament tissue engineering: Advanced biomaterials and regeneration motifs

Catherine K. Kuo, Joseph E. Marturano, Rocky S. Tuan · 20 Aug 2010

Tendon and ligaments have poor healing capacity and when injured often require surgical intervention. Tissue replacement via autografts and allografts are non-ideal strategies that can lead to future problems. As an alternative, scaffold-based tissue engineering strategies are being pursued. In this review, we describe design considerations and major recent advancements of scaffolds for tendon/ligament engineering.…

Medial patellofemoral ligament injury patterns and associated pathology in lateral patella dislocation: an MRI study

Patrick Guerrero, Xinning Li, Ketan Patel et al. · 30 Jul 2009

BACKGROUND: Lateral Patella dislocations are common injuries seen in the active and young adult populations. Our study focus was to evaluate medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) injury patterns and associated knee pathology using Magnetic Resonance Imaging studies. METHODS: MRI studies taken at one imaging site between January, 2007 to January, 2008 with the final diagnosis of…
