“…This information corroborates the results found in the study by Lopes et al 21 , who described about the physiotherapy service of the Brazilian delegation in the Pan-American Games in 2007, where the most used procedures were kinesiotherapy and ultrasound. These two modalities corresponded in the study by Lopes et al 21 to approximately 40% of all the procedures, which may be attributed to the characteristics of the most frequent injuries and even more for being acute injuries. The ultrasound was also frequently used in the services of the Physiotherapy Department in the Polyclinic during the Olympic Games in Athens 10 .…”

Introduction: Athletics is an umbrella sport with high incidence of musculoskeletal injuries; however, the literature presents little information on injuries in Paralympics athletics. Objective: This study was to describe the profile of the musculoskeletal complaints, their anatomical locations, and physiotherapeutic resources used during the Paralympic Athletics World Championships in Christchurch in 2011. Methods: The Brazilian delegation included 34 athletes. Their musculoskeletal complaints, affected anatomical regions, and the physiotherapy resources used were daily recorded for all of the physiotherapy sessions. The sessions were held in the hotel that hosted the delegation and at the competition venue. Results: Out of the 34 athletes, 25 (73.5%) were treated at the Department of Physiotherapy. The main complaints were myalgia (38.4%), followed by arthralgia (23%). The region of the body with the most complaints was the thigh (n = 8, 30.7%), followed by the knee (n = 6, 23%). A total of 428 physiotherapy sessions were performed. At the hotel, the mostly used therapeutic approach was the ultrasound (35.1%), followed by TENS (31.2%) and cryotherapy (23.3%). At the competition venue, the mostly used therapeutic approach was cryotherapy (44.1%), followed by massage (37.2%). Conclusion: The results of this study contribute to a better understanding of the major injuries in this sport and help to develop programs aimed for injury prevention.

“…Other pysiotherapeutic procedures constantly used at the hotel were TENS and cryotherapy, since the majority of the athletes looked for the physiotherapy sector for analgesia procedures, also corroborating Lopes et al 21 . On the other hand, the resources most used at the athletics competition venue were cryotheraphy, massage and therapeutic bandaging.…”

“…These findings reflect the challenges that physiotherapists face in supporting athletes which may not necessarily be captured in the traditional surveillance studies 8 9 13 15. This also has implications for estimating the physiotherapy workforce requirements at the future Games and strongly suggests that further advances are needed for injury prevention17 in light of the findings of this study that sports people at the Olympic level have a high prevalence of ongoing injury that requires at least a maintenance treatment.…”

“…In particular there is a lack of clinical surveys documenting sports chiropractic treatment techniques and scope of practice. A requirement exists for clinicians of all professions falling under the sports medicine banner to document their clinical practice, as others have done [16-19]. As is the case in the low back pain literature [20], the use of management approaches in sports medicine clinical trials should be documented, particularly if beneficial results are reported.…”

BackgroundThere is little literature describing the use of manual therapy performed on athletes. It was our purpose to document the usage of a sports chiropractic manual therapy intervention within a RCT by identifying the type, amount, frequency, location and reason for treatment provided. This information is useful for the uptake of the intervention into clinical settings and to allow clinicians to better understand a role that sports chiropractors offer.MethodsAll treatment rendered to 29 semi-elite Australian Rules footballers in the sports chiropractic intervention group of an 8 month RCT investigating hamstring and lower-limb injury prevention was recorded. Treatment was pragmatically and individually determined and could consist of high-velocity, low-amplitude (HVLA) manipulation, mobilization and/or supporting soft tissue therapies. Descriptive statistics recorded the treatment rendered for symptomatic or asymptomatic benefit, delivered to joint or soft tissue structures and categorized into body regions. For the joint therapy, it was recorded whether treatment consisted of HVLA manipulation, HVLA manipulation and mobilization, or mobilization only. Breakdown of the HVLA technique was performed.ResultsA total of 487 treatments were provided (mean 16.8 consultations/player) with 64% of treatment for asymptomatic benefit (73% joint therapies, 57% soft tissue therapies). Treatment was delivered to approximately 4 soft tissue and 4 joint regions each consultation. The most common asymptomatic regions treated with joint therapies were thoracic (22%), knee (20%), hip (19%), sacroiliac joint (13%) and lumbar (11%). For soft tissue therapies it was gluteal (22%), hip flexor (14%), knee (12%) and lumbar (11%). The most common symptomatic regions treated with joint therapies were lumbar (25%), thoracic (15%) and hip (14%). For soft tissue therapies it was gluteal (22%), lumbar (15%) and posterior thigh (8%). Of the joint therapy, 56% was HVLA manipulation only, 36% high-HVLA and mobilization and 9% mobilization only. Of the HVLA manipulation, 63% was manually performed and 37% mechanically assisted.ConclusionsThe intervention applied was multimodal and multi-regional. Most treatment was for asymptomatic benefit, particularly for joint based therapies, which consisted largely of HVLA manipulation techniques. Most treatment was applied to non-local hamstring structures, in particular the knee, hip, pelvis and spine.
