Objectives: We aim to investigate the accuracy of shear-wave elastography (SWE) in diagnosing patellar tendinopathy in female volleyball and basketball players. In addition, we compared different parts of the patellar tendon and investigated the effects of different knee angles on elastography measurements. Methods: This cross-sectional case-con...

Aim:We hypothesized that both dry needling (DN) and Kinesio taping (KT) combined with exercise training would have short-term therapeutic effects. In this context, we aimed to compare the efficacy of DN versus KT combined with exercise training on pain intensity, shoulder range of motion (ROM), and upper limb function in patients with myofascial pa...

Introduction: This study aimed to investigate the effects of various exercises on quadriceps femoris muscle and on pain, strength, function, and balance in female patients with bilateral knee osteoarthritis (OA). Methods: Forty-five female patients aged 40-65 years were diagnosed with bilateral knee OA according to the American College of Rheumatol...

Study Design Case Report. Background Abdominal wall muscle injuries have been reported in handball, tennis, and baseball; however, a bilateral full-thickness tear of the rectus abdominis muscle and its rehabilitation have not previously been described. This report aims to describe a case of an acute bilateral full-thickness rectus abdominis tear s...

Bu çalışmanın amacı, kan akışı sınırlandırılarak yapılan düşük şiddette kuvvet egzersizleri ve orta şiddetteki kuvvet egzersizlerinin kas kuvveti ve kas kalınlığına etkisini araştırmaktır. Çalışmaya 22 denek katılmıştır. Deneklerin 11’i kan akışı sınırlandırarak (KAS), 11’i klasik hipertrofi (KH) antrenmanı yapmıştır. 8 hafta uygulanan kuvvet egzer...

Objective: Self-myofascial release (SMR) and static stretching (SS) are common pre-competition applications, aiming at relaxing muscles and surrounding fasciae. However, assessments of their effects on the targeted agonistic muscles and possible effects on antagonistic muscles are lacking. Based on myofascial force transmission, we hypothesized tha...

Aims: To compare the effects of 2 and 5 min of passive static stretching (SS) on stiffness and blood flow in the rectus femoris in adolescent athletes using shear wave elastography (SWE) and superb microvascular imaging (SMI).Material and methods: This prospective study included 20 male athletes with median age of 14.5 (12.5-16.5) years. The subje...

Introduction/Background:  Contractile properties are central to skeletal muscle’s contribution to joint range of movement (JROM) and force production. However, the contractile apparatus is integral with intramuscular fasciæ, which are continuous with epimuscular fasciæ. Altered properties of those due to e.g., pathological changes also affect acti...

This study describes how dry cupping affected muscle stiffness objectively

A part of course series at the congress. Course 7: 'APPROACH TO TEAM DOCTOR CONCEPT AND INJURIES ON THE FIELD: WHAT SHOULD WE KNOW?'

Symposium talk about prevention strategies towards reducing muscle injuries, particularly in soccer.

Our study aimed to assess recent attitude and behaviors of Sports and Exercise Physicians (registrars and specialists) toward outpatient clinic-based biomechanical evaluations. Online questionnaires are developed and distributed personally to numerous cities of Turkey. Telephone feed-backs were given in order to achieve high response rates. Results...

Th is study aims to investigate the eff ect of lower extremity (LE) injuries on bilateral hamstring eccentric strength imbalance (HSI) and to determine the relationship between body weight (BW) and HSI in young male soccer players. Eighty-eight young soccer players aged 14-19 in Turkey voluntarily participated in this study. Eccentric hamstring str...

The state of tension, elasticity, and stiffness are important biomechanical properties of biological soft tissues. The accumulating data regarding these viscoelastic properties are generally intervention­based and not compared between different methods of measurements. Myoton(R), is a hand­held device measuring the tone, tension, elasticity and sti...

Treatment of total ruptures of adductor longus is challenging in professional sports. Time for return to pre-injury level as well as re-injury rates are of concern and surgical and conservative treatment approaches are debated; yet no consensus approach described for professional athletes. We present a case of a professional soccer player who exper...

This study was designed to investigate the effects of kinesio tape (KT) on functional performance of female basketball players with and without chronic ankle instability (CAI). The players with (n = 15) and without ankle instability (n = 16) were enrolled. KT was applied with tension in the instability group and without tension in the control group...

Background: We aimed to investigate the profile of athletes by determining the branch of sports, type, and area of sustained sports injury, and the frequencies through athletes' presentations to the largest university clinic in one of the most crowded and athletepopulated cities of Turkey, Istanbul. Materials and methods: THE study population co...

Aim Hypertrophy training is a basic training method to increase muscle size, power and endurance for both athletes and non-athletes. Choosing the most timesaving and beneficial training method is always of concern. Classical hypertrophy training consists of concentric and eccentric contractions of subjected muscle with high-loads (75-85% of 1-Repet...

Aim Myofascial release is a manual therapeutic method aiming to relax the muscles and their surrounding fascia. The release method originally involves a therapist, moving the fascia against its surroundings primarily with tangential forces applied by their hands. More recently, a self-applied method of release has been proposed where an individual...

In spite of demonstrating training loads objectively through player tracking system and Global Positioning System (GPS) technologies, a precise and reliable monitoring tool which can detect the risk of non-functional overreaching or overtraining has not yet been found. Although many methods and tools used until today, it is very difficult to monito...

Estimation of muscle thickness from anthropometric measurements are not precise so further utilization of advanced methods are recommended to measure muscle thickness. Muscle stiffness, an important measure in exercise science can be objectively measured using a recent ultrasound technology, shear-wave elastography(SWE). The aim of our study is to...
