💥 Plyometrics & Eccentrics for Improved ACLR Rehab 💥

A great study here by Kasmi et al (2021) looking at the benefits of plyometrics and eccentric exercises in female ACLR athletes.

After 14 weeks of rehab, the athletes were randomised into 4 different groups that performed these extra training sessions on top of their regular ACLR rehab:

- plyometric only (n=10)
- eccentric only (n=10)
- combined plyometric and eccentric (n=10)
- control group that performed usual rehab (n=10)

After 6 weeks of intervention, the group that performed both plyometrics and eccentric exercises had significantly better dynamic balance (Y-Balance test) and had significantly better single legp hop test performance (hop for distance, triple crossover, 6m timed and triple hop for distance) compared to the other 3 groups.

🌸A peanut lodged inside a child's trachea!!
This powerful photo that gives stark warning to parents over dangers of choking.
The photo shows a coronal cross section of the lungs of a small child who died of suffocation after choking on a peanut.⁣
⁣
Every parent will be familiar with the time spent cutting and slicing their children's food to ensure they can eat with no issues.⁣
No matter how hard you try, there's always a chance their wandering hands will pick up something they shouldn't and potentially put them in danger.⁣
Seeing a little one begin to choke can strike fear and panic into any mum or dad as you quickly attempt to help dislodge the thing blocking their airways.⁣
⁣
Choking and suffocation after foreign body aspiration are important causes of unintentional injury and death in young children.⁣
Choking is the interruption of respiration by internal obstruction of the airway, usually by food or small toys in young children. Suffocation is obstruction of the airway from an external object that blocks the nose and mouth, such as a plastic bag.⁣
These are common causes of mechanical airway obstruction, commonly occurring between the ages of one and four years. ⁣
⁣Peanuts and other nuts is the fourth leading cause of international death in children. At least one child dies from choking an food every five days in the US, and more than 12,000 children are taken to a hospital emergency room each year for food-choking injuries.⁣
Peanuts and other nuts are the size of the airway of a child younger than four to five years.⁣
The risk of death from suffocation is real, but it is avoidable.⁣
Please do not offer to small children: whole dry fruits, popcorn, nuts nor any food that may resemble the size of small candies.⁣
Death cannot be reversed. It is best to prevent.

Taping for Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome:-
BACKGROUND:
Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is characterized by anterior knee pain and/or pain in the retro-patellar and/or peri-patellar region.
🌸🌸
Pain typically increases with activities such as:
Squatting.
Kneeling.
Stair climbing.
Prolonged sitting.
🌸🌸🌸
The underlying causes of PFPS are multifactorial and may be associated with biomechanical and or neurophysiological changes at the pelvis, hip, knee or ankle regions.
🌸🌸🌸
Taping is frequently used as part of the multi-modal management for PFPS, including:
McConnell Patellofemoral Joint Taping (PFJT).
Tibial Internal Rotation Limitation Taping (TIRLT).
🌸🌸
Clifford et al. (2020), investigated the effects of TIRLT, PFJT and no taping on perceived pain and lower limb kinematics during a lunge and single leg squat (SLS) in people with PFPS.
🔬🔬
METHODS:
This cross-sectional study compared the effects of TIRLT, PFJT and no taping, on knee pain and lower limb kinematics during two pain-provoking movements in people with PFPS.
🔬
Participants with PFPS (n = 23) performed a lunge and SLS under three randomised conditions: TIRLT, PFJT and no taping.
🔬
The Codamotion system captured and analysed lower limb kinematic data in the sagittal, transverse and coronal planes.
🔬
Peak knee pain intensity during the movement was assessed using the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS).
📊📊
RESULTS:
Participants reported significantly less pain with the TIRLT and PFJT techniques compared with no tape during the lunge and SLS.
📊
There was no evidence of altered lower limb kinematics accompanying pain reductions with either taping technique.
✅✅🌸🌸🌸
CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE:
Both forms of taping may be useful adjuncts as the short-term benefit of pain relief may enable participation in more active forms of rehabilitation🚩🚩
