O-Season Training Habits And Bmi, Not Preseason Jump Measures, Are Associated With Time-Loss Injury In Female Collegiate Soccer Players, Jason Brumitt, Alma Mattocks, Amy Engilis, Jill A. Sikkema, Jeremy Loew

Faculty Publications - College of Physical Therapy

The primary purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the standing long jump (SLJ) and the single-leg hop (SLH) tests to discriminate lower quadrant (low back and lower extremities) injury occurrence in female collegiate soccer players. The secondary purpose of this study was to determine associations between injury and o-season training habits or anthropometric measures. SLJ, SLH, and anthropometric measures were collected during a preseason screening clinic. Each subject completed a questionnaire providing demographic information and o-season training habits. Each athlete performed three SLJ and three SLH per leg. SLJ and SLH scores were not associated with …

Do Patient Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (Promis) Scales Demonstrate Responsiveness As Well As Disease-Specific Scales In Patients Undergoing Knee Arthroscopy?, Raymond J. Kenney, Jeff Houck, Brian D. Giordano, Judith F. Baumhauer, Meghan Herbert, Michael D. Maloney

Faculty Publications - College of Physical Therapy

Background: The Patient Reported Outcomes Information System (PROMIS) is an efficient metric able to detect changes in global health. Purpose: To assess the responsiveness, convergent validity, and clinically important difference (CID) of PROMIS compared with disease-specific scales after knee arthroscopy. Study Design: Cohort study (Diagnosis); Level of evidence, 2.

Methods: A prospective institutional review board–approved study collected PROMIS Physical Function (PF), PROMIS Pain Interference (PI), International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC), and Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) results in patients undergoing knee arthroscopy. The change from preoperative to longest follow-up was used in analyses performed to determine responsiveness, convergent …

Preseason Y Balance Test Scores Are Not Associated With Noncontact Time-Loss Lower Quadrant Injury In Male Collegiate Basketball Players, Jason Brumitt, Kyle Nelson, Duane Duey, Matthew Jeppson, Luke Hammer

Faculty Publications - College of Physical Therapy

The Y-Balance Test-Lower Quarter has shown promise as a screening tool for identifying athletes at risk of injury. Subsequent studies, utilizing heterogeneous populations or different operational definitions of injury, have presented equivocal findings. Therefore, studies evaluating the efficacy of the Y-Balance Test to discriminate injury risk in a homogeneous population is warranted. One-hundred sixty-nine male (mean age 19.9 + 1.5 y) collegiate basketball players were recruited during 2 consecutive seasons (2016–2017/2017–2018). Athletes completed the Y-Balance testing protocol at the start of each preseason. Athletic trainers tracked noncontact time-loss lower quadrant injuries over the course of the season. Receiver operator characteristic …

Preseason Functional Test Scores Are Associated With Future Sports Injury In Female Collegiate Athletes, Jason Brumitt, Bryan C. Heiderscheit, Robert C. Manske, Paul E. Niemuth, Alma Mattocks, Mitchell J. Rauh

Faculty Publications - College of Physical Therapy

Brumitt, J, Heiderscheit, B, Manske, R, Niemuth, PE, Mattocks, A, and Rauh, MJ. Preseason functional test scores are associated with future sports injury in female collegiate athletes. J Strength Cond Res 32(6): 1692–1701, 2018—Recent prospective cohort studies have reported preseason functional performance test (FPT) measures and associations with future risk of injury; however, the findings associated with these studies have been equivocal. The purpose of this study was to determine the ability of a battery of FPTs as a preseason screening tool to identify female Division III (D III) collegiate athletes who may be at risk for a noncontact time-loss …

Preseason Lower Extremity Functional Test Scores Are Not Associated With Lower Quadrant Injury - A Validation Study With Normative Data On 395 Division Iii Athletes, Jason Brumitt, Victor Wilson, Natalie Ellis, Jordan Petersen, Christopher John Zita, Jordan Reyes

Faculty Publications - College of Physical Therapy

Background: Preseason performance on the lower extremity functional test (LEFT), a timed series of agility drills, has been previously reported to be associated with future risk of lower quadrant (LQ = low back and lower extremities) injury in Division III (D III) athletes.Validation studies are warranted to confirm or refute initial findings.

Hypothesis/Purpose: The primary purpose of this study was to examine the ability of the LEFT to discriminate injury occurrence in D III athletes, in order to validate or refute prior findings. It was hypothesized that female and male D III athletes slower at completion of the LEFT would …

Preseason Jump And Hop Measures In Male Collegiate Basketball Players: An Epidemiologic Report, Jason Brumitt, Amy Engilis, Dale Isaak, Amy Briggs, Alma Mattocks

Faculty Publications - College of Physical Therapy

Background: Injuries are inherent in basketball with lower extremity (LE) injury rates reported as high as 11.6 per 1000 athletic exposures (AEs); many of these injuries result in time loss from sport participation. A recent trend in sports medicine research has been the attempt to identify athletes who may be at risk for injury based on measures of preseason fitness.

Hypothesis/Purpose: The purpose of this prospective cohort study was to determine if the standing long jump (SLJ) and/or the single-leg hop (SLH) for distance functional performance tests (FPT) are associated with non-contact time loss lower quadrant (LQ, defined as lower …

Risk Factors Associated With Noncontact Time-Loss Lower-Quadrant Injury In Male Collegiate Soccer Players, Jason Brumitt, Amy Engilis, Amber Eubanks, Alma Mattocks, Jennifer Peet, Nathanael Bush

Faculty Publications - College of Physical Therapy

Introduction: The incidence of time-loss injury in male collegiate soccer players in the United States (US) is 6.4 per 1000 athletic exposures. With thousands of male athletes competing in soccer at the US collegiate level each year, there is the potential for numerous time-loss injuries that may ultimately impact team success. Thus, identifying risk factors for injury is warranted.

Purpose: The primary purpose of this study was to determine if preseason functional performance test (FPT) measures (the standing long jump [SLJ] and single-leg hop [SLH] for distance tests) were associated with an increased risk of a noncontact time-loss lower-quadrant (LQ) …

Lower Extremity Functional Tests And Risk Of Injury In Division Iii Collegiate Athletes, Jason Brumitt, Bryan C. Heiderscheit, Robert C. Manske, Paul E. Niemuth, Mitchell J. Rauh

Faculty Publications - College of Physical Therapy

Purpose/Background: Functional tests have been used primarily to assess an athlete’s fitness or readiness to return to sport. The purpose of this prospective cohort study was to determine the ability of the standing long jump (SLJ) test, the single-leg hop (SLH) for distance test, and the lower extremity functional test (LEFT) as preseason screening tools to identify collegiate athletes who may be at increased risk for a time-loss sports-related low back or lower extremity injury.

Methods: A total of 193 Division III athletes from 15 university teams (110 females, age 19.1 ± 1.1 y; 83 males, age 19.5 ± 1.3 …
