Alpine skiing with total knee arthroplasty (ASWAP): effect on tendon properties
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-06-10)The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of alpine skiing on patellar tendon properties in patients with total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Thirty-one adults (70.4 ± 4.7 years) with unilateral TKA were recruited ... -
Architectural changes in superficial and deep compartments of the tibialis anterior during electrical stimulation over different sites
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Electrical stimulation is widely used in rehabilitation to prevent muscle weakness and to assist the functional recovery of neural deficits. Its application is however limited by the rapid development of muscle fatigue due ... -
DL_Track_US: A python package to analyse muscle ultrasonography images
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Ultrasonography can be used to assess muscle architectural parameters during static and dynamic conditions. Nevertheless, the analysis of the acquired ultrasonography images presents a major difficulty. Muscle architectural ... -
Effect of exercise on the inter-rectus distance in pregnant women with diastasis recti abdominis: An experimental longitudinal study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Objective: To investigate the effect of acute contraction of the pelvic floor muscles (PFM) and abdominal exercises on the inter-rectus distance (IRD) compared to resting values, and differences between gestation weeks 27 ... -
Imaging of plantar fascia and Achilles injuries undertaken at the London 2012 Olympics
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013-08-01)Plantar fascia and distal Achilles injuries are common in elite athletes. Acute athletic injuries of the plantar fascia include acute plantar fasciopathy and partial or complete tears. Underlying most acute injuries is a ... -
Influence of loading rate on patellar tendon mechanical properties in vivo
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014-03)Background: Rate-dependent properties of tendons have consistently been observed in vitro but in vivo studies comparing the effects of loading duration on this feature remain conflicting. The main purpose of the present ... -
Medial gastrocnemius muscle fascicles shorten throughout stance during sprint acceleration
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The compliant nature of distal limb muscle-tendon units is traditionally considered suboptimal in explosive movements when positive joint work is required. However, during accelerative running, ankle joint net mechanical ... -
Reliability of the inter-rectus distance measured by palpation: Comparison of palpation and ultrasound measurements
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013-08)An increased inter-rectus distance (IRD) is a common condition in late pregnancy and in the postnatal period. The condition is difficult to assess. Palpation is the most commonly used method to assess IRD. To date there ... -
Sports Injuries at the Rio de Janeiro 2016 Summer Olympics: Use of Diagnostic Imaging Services
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Purpose: To describe the occurrence of imaging-depicted sports-related stress injuries, fractures, and muscle and tendon disorders during the 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Materials and Methods: Data ... -
Subcutaneous fat patterning in athletes: selection of appropriate sites and standardisation of a novel ultrasound measurement technique: ad hoc working group on body composition, health and performance, under the auspices of the IOC Medical Commission
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Background. Precise and accurate field methods for body composition analyses in athletes are needed urgently. Aim: Standardisation of a novel ultrasound (US) technique for accurate and reliable measurement of subcutaneous ... -
Test-retest and intrarater reliability of 2-dimensional ultrasound measurements of distance between rectus abdominis in women
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)STUDY DESIGN: Single-group test-retest reliability study. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the test-retest intraobserver reliability of 2-dimensional ultrasound measurement of the distance between the rectus abdominis muscles, the ...
