“…However, it is worth mentioning the observation so that future studies can investigate whether there is a link or not between length and style. A further notion is that ice hockey requires an outstanding balance ability Psychology (Han, Anson, Waddington, Adams, & Liu, 2015) which is particularly important in situations that require attention and concentration (Hrysomallis, 2011) as in shootouts. Therefore further studies are also suggested to investigate the role of sensorimotor maturity (Niklasson, Rasmussen, Niklasson, & Norlander, 2015;Niklasson, Norlander, Niklasson, & Rasmussen, 2017).…”

The purpose of the current study was to investigate for the first time whether specifically targeted psychological and match-like training improves the effectiveness of shooters and goalkeepers during penalty shootouts in ice hockey. Participants were 58 male ice hockey players (36 shooters and 22 goalkeepers) at national elite level, representing all the teams in the Swedish Hockey League (SHL). Their average age was 27.29 years (SD = 4.80). The shooters performed together 185 shots at shootouts during the current season, of which 62 (34%) resulted in goals. Goalkeepers guarded the goal during the season against 228 shots during shootouts, of which they saved 158 (69%). The participants were categorized into three levels in terms of preparation for shootouts: a) Low; No special preparation, b) Middle; Sporadic preparations, and c) High; Intensive psychological preparations and specific match-like training. The results for the shooters showed that the middle-level group gained more than twice goal efficiency (34.15%) compared to the low-preparation group (15.50%), and the high-preparation group (70.83%), in turn, gained just over twice as much efficiency as the middle group. The goalkeeper results were somewhat less remarkable, yet showed that the high preparation group (77.81%) had 8% better rescue efficiency compared to the low-preparation group (60.90%). To conclude, the results of the current study suggest that it is beneficial at ice hockey elite level to carry out specially designed training as a preparatory feature for future shootouts. Future studies may show how these experiences can be applied in lower divisions and in junior leagues where nervousness and stress can be assumed to be a major negative factor.

Purpose: This study was to investigate the short-term effects of spiral taping (ST) on performance on the star excursion balance test (SEBT) in individuals with unilateral chronic ankle instability (CAI). Methods: This study was single-group pre -post measures experimental design. The subjects with CAI were 39 (range, 20-31 years; male 16, females 23) were enrolled in the study. The discomfort had in unilateral ankle and Cumberland ankle instability score was 19.56 (± 3.29). Spiral tape (a width of 3 mm) was applied 3× 4 cross shape on medial malleolus, lateral malleolus and dorsal of talocural joint of unstable ankle. SEBT was measured baseline and 30 min later in stable ankle and unstable ankle. Results: SEBT showed significantly improved after applying the ST (p< 0.05, ES= 0.74) on unstable ankle. In comparison the difference of stable and unstable ankle, between the pretest and posttest were significant differences (p< 0.01, ES= 1.88). Conclusion: These results indicated that ST improves performance on the SEBT. Therefore, it suggests that ST may be a suitable intervention to dynamic balance in patients with CAI.

As a rare and exceptional injury with significant syndesmotic disruption, the outcome of Logsplitter injury remains poor and unfavorable. In this study, we retrospectively investigated the relationship between the intraoperative reduction quality and the prognosis such as the posttraumatic osteoarthritis to help surgeons achieve better functional outcomes for this high-energy transsyndesmotic ankle fracture dislocation. From January 2015 to February 2019, 31 patients (average 37:6 ± 9:4 years with 19 male and 12 female) diagnosed with the Logsplitter injury were treated by ORIF procedure and enrolled in our study. Particularly, nine vital radiographic parameters including medial clear space, talocrural angle, superior clear space, tibiofibular clear space, tibiofibular overlap, talar tilt, coin sign, tibial medial malleolus angle, and fibular lateral malleolus angle were measured from a postoperative film (AP and mortise view). Next, we compared the clinical outcome by using range of ankle motion, AOFAS scores, Burwell-Charnley score system, and Kellergen-Lawrence criteria from the patients who obtained the intraoperative anatomical reduction with those who failed. Our results showed that AOFAS score with all the patients was 79:33 ± 5:82 at the final follow-up. 14 (45.1%) of 31 patients were observed with radiographic posttraumatic arthritis of the ankle joint with an average Kellgren-Lawrence score of 1:75 ± 1:6 at final follow-up. Most importantly, our results proved that there were significant differences between the patients eligible for anatomical reduction quality with those who failed with regard to OA rate (33.3% vs. 85.7%, P = 0:003) and AOFAS scores (75:33 ± 6:53 vs. 66:89 ± 4:28, P = 0:037) at the final followup. Furthermore, the functional outcome after the operation showed an increased range of motion of the ankle joint of the patients obtained anatomical reduction compared with those who failed (P < 0:05). In this study, the significant discrepancy with regard to the functional outcomes was observed between the acceptable and unacceptable radiographic parameters, indicating that the quality of intraoperative reduction is scientifically significant and thus can be utilized as the major factor to predict the clinical outcomes for Logsplitter injuries. Moreover, this reduction algorithm arising from our study can also be applied to other ankle fractures and dislocation involving syndesmotic complex.
