Background: While there is evidence that tendon adapts to training load, structural alterations in the patellar tendon in response to training loads are still unclear. The aim of this study is to identify changes in patellar tendon structure throughout pre-season and after finalizing the first competitive cycle. Methods: Nineteen professional ha...

Clinicians suggest that rehabilitation of Subacromial Impingement Syndrome (SIS) should target improving movement patterns to ensure better clinical outcomes. Understanding changes in onset time of activation patterns and associated changes in clinical outcomes could improve our understanding of rehabilitation strategies. In this prospective longit...

Doha is hosting the 12th FINA World Swimming Championships (25 metres) this month. With the number of keen young competitive and senior recreational swimmers in Doha on the increase, it is important to focus on common swimming injuries and how they relate to training and possible technique errors. In this clinically-oriented paper, we will provide...

This study examines neuromuscular firing patterns in healthy and subjects diagnosed with SIS of the periscapular, prime-moving, and rotator cuff muscles during “clinical” cardinal plane physiological movements at different speeds and loads. EMG recordings were taken in 34 healthy and 34 subjects diagnosed with Subacromial Impingement Syndrome (SIS)...

Objectives: This study examines neuromuscular firing patterns in overhead athletes and non-athletes of the periscapular, prime-moving, and rotator cuff muscles during "clinical" cardinal plane physiological movements. Design: Cohort prospective study. Setting: EMG recordings were taken of the periscapular, prime-moving, and rotator cuff muscle...

Resumen El modelo del continuum fue propuesto por Cook y Purdam en 2009 con el propósito de mejorar la comprensión del complejo marco que rodea la patología del tendón. El concepto se basa en las características de los tres estados tisulares del tendón: tendón reactivo, tendinopatía desestructurada y tendinopatía degenerativa. El concepto del conti...

Background: Dry needling (DN) is reported to decrease pain and improve functional movements yet the mechanisms remain unclear. Changes in muscle tone and other mechanical properties after DN could contribute to these findings but have not been investigated. Objectives: Examine EMG and passive mechanical properties of the quadriceps muscle before...
