“…Aydın et al (46) also observed no significant differences between nondominant and dominant ankles with respect to the ability to sense passive movement and the active angle-reproduction test results in sedentary subjects, who were included in the study as a control group. Our results correlate with the results of these studies, with no differences found between the limbs with respect to joint position sense and kinesthesia (45,46) in active individuals [teenage female gymnasts (46), a mixed group of male and female elite athletes (22,23), and female handball players (47)]. Interestingly, there were also no differences between the ankle joints with respect to joint position sense.…”

Objective: The effects of lower extremity dominance on response latency and proprioceptive ability have been reported for physically active individuals, but not for sedentary individuals. The aim of this research was to explore the differences in muscle latency and proprioceptive ability between the non-dominant and dominant legs of healthy sedentary individuals. Material and Methods: Nineteen healthy male subjects without a history of any physical training practice for a minimum of 12 months were enrolled in this study. An ankle inversion tilting platform was used to measure the reaction times of the tibialis anterior and peroneus longus muscles. Joint position sense measured actively and passively and kinesthesia were used to evaluate proprioception of the ankle joint. Results: Neither the latency times of the tibialis anterior and peroneus longus muscles nor the proprioceptive ability score measurements exhibited significant differences between the non-dominant and dominant legs (p>0.05). Conclusion:The results of this investigation indicates that there is no side differences between the limbs with the evaluation of the peroneus longus or tibialis anterior muscle reaction times, ankle joint position sense, and ankle kinesthesia for healthy sedentary individuals.

“…However, the application of evidence-based practice to athletic training is hampered by the large variety of exercises used for neuromuscular training programs. Whereas most authors described balance and stabilization exercises, other authors 6,7 defined neuromuscular training as multi-intervention programs with a combination of balance, strength, plyometric, agility, and sport-specific exercises. Thus, it is unclear whether a single intervention or the combination of various exercises is primarily responsible for the training effects.…”

Objective: As a result of inconsistencies in reported findings, controversy exists regarding the effectiveness of balance training for improving functional performance and neuromuscular control. Thus, its practical benefit in athletic training remains inconclusive. Our objective was to evaluate the effectiveness of training interventions in enhancing neuromuscular control and functional performance.Data Sources: Two independent reviewers performed a literature search in Cochrane Bone, Joint and Muscle Trauma Group Register and Cochrane Controlled Trials Register, MEDLINE, EMBASE, PEDro (Physiotherapy Evidence Database), and SCOPUS.Study Selection: Randomized controlled trials and controlled trials without randomization with healthy and physically active participants aged up to 40 years old were considered for inclusion. Outcomes of interest were postural control, muscle strength, agility, jump performance, sprint performance, muscle reflex activity, rate of force development, reaction time, and electromyography.Data Extraction: Data of interest were methodologic assessment, training intervention, outcome, timing of the outcome assessment, and results. Standardized mean differences and 95% confidence intervals were calculated when data were sufficient.Data Synthesis: In total, 20 randomized clinical trials met the inclusion criteria. Balance training was effective in improving postural sway and functional balance when compared with untrained control participants. Larger effect sizes were shown for training programs of longer duration. Although controversial findings were reported for jumping performance, agility, and neuromuscular control, there are indications for the effectiveness of balance training in these outcomes. When compared with plyometric or strength training, conflicting results or no effects of balance training were reported for strength improvements and changes in sprint performance.Conclusions: We conclude that balance training can be effective for postural and neuromuscular control improvements. However, as a result of the low methodologic quality and training differences, further research is strongly recommended.Key Words: methodologic quality assessment, postural control, motor control Key Points N Clinically, balance training is an effective intervention to improve static postural sway and dynamic balance in both athletes and nonathletes.N For optimal improvement in sprint, jumping, and strength performance, strength or plyometric training appears to be more effective.N Because of methodologic limitations and variability in the training regimens studied to date, high-quality research is needed.

“…Furthermore, the quality of movement patterns, especially the lower extremity patterns, is an important and modifiable factor that may influence the risk of ACL injury as well as play a critical role in injury mechanism (2,6,14). In order to reduce the frequency of these injuries, advice regarding prevention and rehabilitation is needed with actual strengthening programs for the treatment of the muscle imbalance, stretching exercises to moderate muscle stiffness, as well as proprioceptive programs for the improvement of balance and bodily movement (4,27,47). Moreover, increased importance is attributed to continuous pre-screening and warm-up exercise programs based on sports-specific, position-specific drills (35).…”

The purpose of this study is to examine the quality of functional movement patterns among one of Hungary's first league soccer clubs, where the elite male football players (N = 20) utilize the well-established Functional Movement Screen TM (FMS) system; a comprehensive functional program designed to determine and identify the quality of movement and the greatest risk factors for non-contact injuries. Furthermore, an additional purpose of this program is to examine injuries over the course of 6 competitive months. Focusing on the mechanisms of injuries and their causes in the lower extremities during this period is one of the key objectives. Over the course of 6 months we found significant differences between ankle injuries and the FMS Hurdle Step exercise (p < 0.05), and the FMS Deep Squat exercise and knee and hip injuries (p < 0.05). The FMS pre-screening system found lower limb asymmetry present in 40% of the participants. The authors believe that the importance of preventative measures and structural sport specific pre-screening cannot be overemphasized, and that there is a growing need for further transparent research in this field in order to be more effective with regard to programs dedicated to injury prevention and the enhancement players' physical performance.

Effect of proprioception training on knee joint position sense in female team handball players

Abstract: This is the first study to show that proprioception training improves the joint position sense in elite female handball players. This may explain the effect of neuromuscular training in reducing the injury rate.
