Why Nordic Hamstring?

• Hamstrings are the most commonly injured muscle in sprinting and

  kicking sports (soccer, football and rugby).

• Recurrent hamstring injuries lead to longer time loss than the original injury.

• Despite the presence of preventa- tive programs, research has not yet documented an effective, low-cost, widely accessible test to determine hamstring injury risk.

Clinical And Lab Based Measures Of Physical Status Following Rehabilitation For Ankle Fractures, Jeffrey Houck

Student-Faculty Research - College of Physical Therapy

Ankle fractures are one of the most common injuries of the lower extremity. A recent study shows that rapid functional gains over the first 6 months after an ankle fracture are common, but there are little to no gains 18-24 months into the recovery cycle (Beckenkamp, 2014). When looking at how well patients recovered after surgery, patients are categorized as having good recovery yet are still unable to return to their previous level of sport (Hong, 2013). This brings up the issue of whether there are performance based tests that would be appropriate for ankle fracture patients to determine return …

Preventing Running Injuries Using A Pre-Running Exercise Program (Prep): A Pilot Study, P. Jaques, T. Mcgrath, K. Rasmussen, J. Irwin, J. Winslow, M. Strong, G. Macias, Tyler Cuddeford

Hypothesis: An 8 week supervised PREP implemented prior to a 5k running program will reduce the incidence of RRI's among novice runners training for a 5k below the previously published incidence rates.

Pilot Data: Are Vertical And Lateral Hop Tests Appropriate For Patients Post-Ankle Fracture?, Jeff Houck, R. Spaulding, T. Weiss, T. Dewilde

Student-Faculty Research - College of Physical Therapy

Ankle fractures effect 5 out of 10,000 individuals (van Staa, 2001). A recent study shows rapid functional gains over the first 6 months after an ankle fracture, but there are little or no gains 18-24 months into the recovery cycle (Beckenkamp, 2014). Similarly, other studies have shown that ankle fracture patients are categorized as having good recovery outcomes on popular measures such as the modified Olerud Molander scale (Egol, 2006), yet are unable to return to previous level of sport (Hong, 2013), indicating there may be persisting higher level performance deficits. This brings up the issue of whether there are …
