Body-worn inertial sensors have enabled motion capture outside of the laboratory setting. In this work, an inertial measurement unit was attached to the upper arm to track and discriminate between shoulder motion gestures in order to help prevent shoulder over-use injuries in athletics through real-time preventative feedback. We present a detection and classification approach that can be used to count the number of times certain motion gestures occur. The application presented involves tracking baseball throws and volleyball serves, which are common overhead movements that can lead to shoulder and elbow overuse injuries. Eleven subjects are recruited to collect training, testing, …
A Prediction Model For Acute Core And Lower Extremity Injuries In Division 1 Collegiate Football Players, Alexandra Aline Mcdonald
A Prediction Model For Acute Core And Lower Extremity Injuries In Division 1 Collegiate Football Players, Alexandra Aline Mcdonald
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Context: Various intrinsic factors such as high exposure, poor endurance of core muscles, previous injury, strength deficits, suboptimal neurocognitive function, and orthopedic abnormalities have been found as predictors for sprains and strains among collegiate football players. Objective: Assess the applicability of pre-participation assessments as predictors of core or lower extremity injury. Design: Cohort Study. Setting: National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I football program. Patients or Other Participants: Athletes who underwent mandatory pre-participation examinations before preseason football training over two consecutive seasons (n=225). Main Outcome Measure(s): Associations between preseason protocols and injury incidence for core and lower extremity injuries were established …
Development And Initial Validation Of Novel Multi-Planar Neck Strength Assessment And Neuromuscular Training Protocols, Theo H. Versteegh
Development And Initial Validation Of Novel Multi-Planar Neck Strength Assessment And Neuromuscular Training Protocols, Theo H. Versteegh
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Concussions are a serious health concern in today’s active society. There are many contributing factors to concussions but one that is starting to draw significant attention is the potential role the neck muscles play in mitigating concussive forces. There is evidence that stronger neck muscles may decrease an individual’s concussion risk. In order to fully define this role, an appropriate outcome measure for assessing neck strength is required. Once this is established, methods of training to improve neck strength can be evaluated for their effect on neck strength and subsequently effect on concussion risk. This thesis included three studies. Chapter …
Sports Medicine For Coaches- A Coaching Clinic, Jessica Slavik
Sports Medicine For Coaches- A Coaching Clinic, Jessica Slavik
Master of Arts in Sport Management
Sports medicine is a vast area of medicine, and expecting a coach to understand all of the medical knowledge is improbable. A coaching clinic that entails basic knowledge of first aid and injury prevention for coaches is critical in today's age where young athletes are put at risk of injury. By utilizing the knowledge and skills of the area clinic, Affiliated Communities Medical Centers, the coaching clinic aims to educate coaches with the latest techniques in injury treatment and prevention. Using local venues to educate the coaches allows for easy access, and small size to ensure quality learning. The coaching …

Forty-eight professional soccer players (mean ± SD age of 25.3 ± 3.1 yr) from two elite European teams were involved within a one season study. Players completed a test of intermittent-aerobic capacity (Yo-YoIR1) to assess player’s injury risk in relation to intermittent aerobic capacity. Weekly workload measures and time loss injuries were recorded during the entire period. Rolling weekly sums and week-to-week changes in workload were measured, allowing for the calculation of the acute:chronic workload ratio, which was calculated by dividing the acute (1-weekly) and chronic (4-weekly) workloads. All derived workload measures were modelled against injury data using logistic regression. …

Injury Prevention In Adolescent Female Athletes In Western Connecticut, Allicia Imada
Family Medicine Clerkship Student Projects
Sports are the leading cause of injury in adolescents and can have long-term psycho-social and physical consequences especially in adolescent females. To increase knowledge and awareness of injuries and injury prevention in adolescent female athletes a short workshop was presented to 56 adolescent field hockey players who improved by 31.1% correct on knowledge based surveys from information in the talk and took home pamphlets. Hopefully in the future the workshops can be expanded to other athletes and sports, and specific information about injury prevention programs that have been shown to decrease injury rates an be shared with the community.
