“…Another important finding was that the FMS study recorded higher instances of limb asymmetry, which is one of the highest risk factors for noncontact injuries. The related clinical conclusions refer to problems in connection with the functional immobility and instability of joints (55), as well as the improper functioning of proprioception (12). The risk factors of injuries can be reduced, and the right-and left-side asymmetries can be corrected with the application of progressive intervention programs (38), also resulting in an improvement in physical performance (51).…”

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.

“…This required integration of proprioceptive sensory feedback in order to constantly modify a motor task: postural sway, which has been shown to be highly dependent on control of the foot and ankle 15,29 . A reduced ability to control postural sway has also been associated with delayed peroneal muscle activity following sudden perturbation, functional ankle instability 34 , and an increased risk of ankle injury in soccer players 35 .…”

Objective: To determine whether the bilateral application of kinesiology tape (KT) to professional footballers' ankles can improve their lower limb proprioception.Design: A single blind randomised crossover study. Participants were randomly assigned to complete a proprioception test in either a taped or not taped condition first. Following a wash out period, participants were then re-tested in the alternate condition.Setting: A UK Championship League Football Club, mid-season.Participants: Twenty male professional football players over the age of 18, currently match fit with no injuries.Outcome measure: Proprioception was assessed by participants undertaking the moving target program on the balance module attached to a Kin-Com 125AP isokinetic dynamometer. A paired sample two tailed t test was used to assess whether there was a significant difference between the participants test scores in the not taped and taped conditions.Results: The bilateral application of KT to professional footballers' ankles did not bring about a significant change in participants' scores when tested with a fine movement and balance control test.Percentage accuracy score mean difference 4.2 (p=0.285).

“…They concluded that stabilometry was a useful method for evaluating functional instability of the knee. 54 Tropp et al 84 reported that athletes who could not demonstrate postural balance within 2 standard deviations of normal had a significantly higher risk of lower extremity injury. Normal female subjects demonstrate greater single-limb postural stability than males on a stabilometer.…”

Rehabilitation following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction has undergone a relatively rapid and global evolution over the past 25 years. However, there is an absence of standardized, objective criteria to accurately assess an athlete's ability to progress through the end stages of rehabilitation and safe return to sport. Return-to-sport rehabilitation, progressed by quantitatively measured functional goals, may improve the athlete's integration back into sport participation. The purpose of the following clinical commentary is to introduce an example of a criteria-driven algorithm for progression through return-to-sport rehabilitation following ACL reconstruction. Our criteria-based protocol incorporates a dynamic assessment of baseline limb strength, patientreported outcomes, functional knee stability, bilateral limb symmetry with functional tasks, postural control, power, endurance, agility, and technique with sport-specific tasks. Although this algorithm has limitations, it serves as a foundation to expand future evidence-based evaluation and to foster critical investigation into the development of objective measures to accurately determine readiness to safely return to sport following injury.
