Chronic groin pain in an amateur soccer player
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2004-04-01) Çetin, Cem; Yıldız, Yavuz; Aydın, Taner; Örs, Fatih; Kalyon, Tunç Alp; Şekir, Ufuk; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Spor Hekimliği Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0003-2735-8697; R-5044-2018; AAM-4348-2020; 8086677600
Chronic groin pain is common in soccer players because of the biomechanics of kicking causing recurrent stress to the abdominal muscles, groin flexors, and adductor muscles. Myositis ossificans in adductor muscles is a rare cause of chronic groin pain in soccer players. Only two cases have been reported and the iliopsoas muscle was involved in both. This case report emphasises the importance of direct radiography for diagnosis in chronic groin pain and is a reminder that the development of myositis ossificans in the adductor muscles may be a cause.
Reliability of a functional test battery evaluating functionality, proprioception and strength of the ankle joint
(TÜBİTAK, 2009-02) Yıldız, Yavuz; Hazneci, Bülent; Örs, Fatih; Saka, Tolga; Aydın, Taner; Şekir, Ufuk; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Spor Hekimliği Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0003-2735-8697; 0000-0003-2735-8697; AAM-4348-2020; R-5044-2018; 8086677600
Aim: In contrast to the one-sided evaluation methods used in the past. combining multiple tests allows one to obtain a global assessment of the ankle joint. Materials and Methods: Twenty healthy male volunteers participated in this study. One component of the test battery included five different functional ability tests, which included: single limb hopping course, one-legged and triple-legged hop for distance, and six-meter (6-m) and cross 6-m hop for time. Ankle joint position sense and one leg standing test were used for proprioceptive evaluation. Isokinetic strength of the ankle invertor and evertor muscles were evaluated at a velocity of 120 degrees/sec. Reliability of the test battery was assessed by calculating the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Results: The ICCs for ankle functional and proprioceptive ability showed good to high reliability (ICC ranging from 0.89 to 0.98). Furthermore, isokinetic ankle joint inversion and eversion strength measurements represented good reliability (ICCs between 0.86-0.89). Conclusions: The functional test battery investigated in this study proved to be a reliable toot in the assessment of the ankle joints of healthy recreational athletes. Clinicians may use the information of the functional test battery to detect changes in ankle joint performance as a component of a screening evaluation.
Reliability of a functional test battery evaluating functionality, proprioception, and strength in recreational athletes with functional ankle instability
(Edizioni Minerva Medica, 2008-12) Örs, Fatih; Saka, Tolga; Yıldız, Yavuz; Hazneci, Bülent; Aydın, Taner; Şekir, Ufuk; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Spor Hekimliği Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0003-2735-8697; AAM-4348-2020; 8086677600
Aim. In contrast to the single evaluation methods used in the past, the combination of multiple tests allows one to obtain a global assessment of the ankle joint. The aim of this study was to determine the reliability of the different tests in a functional test battery. Methods. Twenty-four male recreational athletes with unilateral functional ankle instability (FAI) were recruited for this study. One component of the test battery included five different functional ability tests. These tests included a single limb hopping course, single-legged and triple-legged hop for distance, and six and cross six meter hop for time. The ankle joint position sense and one leg standing test were used for evaluation of proprioception and sensorimotor control. The isokinetic strengths of the ankle invertor and evertor muscles were evaluated at a velocity of 120 degrees/s. The reliability of the test battery was assessed by calculating the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Each subject was tested two times, with an interval of 3-5 days between the test sessions. Results. The ICCs for ankle functional and proprioceptive ability showed high reliability (ICCs ranging from 0.94 to 0.98). Additionally, isokinetic ankle joint inversion and eversion strength measurements represented good to high reliability (ICCs between 0.82 and 0.98). Conclusion. The functional test battery investigated in this study proved to be a reliable tool for the assessment of athletes with functional ankle instability. Therefore, clinicians may obtain reliable information from the functional test battery during the assessment of ankle joint performance in patients with functional ankle instability.
