Who are the Research Reviews for?

Our Research Reviews are useful for any health care professional wanting to learn more about rehabilitation, including: Physiotherapists / physical therapists, exercise physiologists, sports therapists, athletic trainers, S&C coaches or personal trainers, chiropractors, osteopaths, massage therapists

I’m not a physio – can I still sign up?

Of course! We may be called Physio Network, but the Research Reviews are designed for anyone wanting to keep up to date with the musculoskeletal / sports rehab literature. If that’s you, then we’re sure you’ll love the reviews!

Which countries are Research Reviews approved for CPD / CEUs in?

Research Reviews are approved for CPD/CEU points/hours in Australia, UK, USA (43 states - see below for details), Canada, New Zealand, Ireland, Austria, South Africa and more. USA - Research Reviews are approved for CEUs in all states apart from District of Columbia, Louisiana, Maryland, Minnesota, New Jersey, Ohio, Texas and West Virginia. People from these states may use the guidance HERE to apply for individual approval for Research Reviews. We can provide you with materials to submit for this.

I might be interested. But can I cancel if I don't like it?

Yes! You can cancel your subscription at any time. In your 7-day free trial you can cancel anytime during the trial period and you won’t be charged. We also offer a 30-day money-back guarantee.

How does the trial work?

Simply subscribe to a yearly membership to the Research Reviews, enjoy the premium content, and if you don’t like what you see - you can cancel anytime before your free 7 days has passed and you won’t be charged. NB: The free trial ends exactly 7 days from when you signed up. For example if you signed up at 10:05am on Sunday (your local time) it will end at 10:05am the following Sunday (your local time).

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE

The efficacy of 2D vs. 3D video-analysis to determine the risk of ACL injury has never been assessed. Previous research has shown that female footballers are at a higher risk of ACL injury than males and they are less responsive to targeted preventative interventions e.g. the FIFA 11+ program (1).

The purpose this study was to prospectively investigate the biomechanical predictors of ACL injury during a change of direction (COD) task in female football players using both gold standard 3D motion capture and a qualitative scoring system based on 2D video-analysis. The hypothesis was that both the 3D motion capture and the 2D scoring system would detect clinically relevant biomechanical differences between non-injured and ACL-injured players.

The efficacy of 2D vs. 3D video-analysis to determine the risk of ACL injury has never been assessed.

The analysis of pelvis and trunk frontal plane kinematics in 2D could effectively detect core imbalance during the COD task.

METHODS

16 female soccer players (age 21.4 ± 4.3) were enrolled.
