BRINGING SCIENCE TO TREATMENT
in Anatomy, Diagnose & Treat, Joint injuries, Masterclass, Shoulder injuries
In part 1 of this feature, Chris Mallac outlines the relevant anatomy and biomechanics of the ACJ, how they are injured, how to clinically assess injury and the relevant radiological requirements in determining the extent of injury. MORE

Studies suggest that between 3 and 9% of all sports injuries involve the wrist and/or hand. Andrew Hamilton looks at ulnar impaction, one of the more common injuries to affect this region, especially among older athletes. Ulnar impaction syndrome (UIS – sometimes called ulnocarpal abutment) is a condition in which the ulna of the forearm... MORE

In the first part of this 2-part article, Chris Mallac looks at the function of vastus medialis oblique, which is widely believed to function as a patellar stabiliser. But as he explains, the research is far from conclusive... MORE

In the first part of this 2-part article, Chris Mallac looks at the surgery and rehab options for Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), an increasingly common musculoskeletal disorder that can affect young to middle aged athletes. In part two, Chris will describe in detail the post-operative rehabilitation period required to take an athlete back to full competition MORE

Chris Mallac discusses a case study in which a physiotherapist reports a problem. MORE
Knee pain is the most common of all sports injuries and virtually every sport has its share of knee injuries and related problems. If you or your client has played sport for any sustained period of time, the chances are you've already experienced at least one bout of knee pain. Be it a temporary, mild nuisance you've shrugged off, or a debilitating injury that forced you to seek specialist help. The good news for athletes, coaches and sports injury professionals, is that thanks to some important recent work in this area, sports scientists now know more than ever about the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of knee injuries. And now you too can share in these insights, courtesy of this special report. MORE
Understand and manage the shoulder's function, recognise how and why pathologies develop and learn the concepts behind current and best practice of shoulder injury management. MORE
Drawing from the knowledge and experience of our panel of sports scientists, physiotherapists and sports therapists we have compiled a holistic, technical and hands-on approach to understanding, treating and managing running injuries. The report covers prevention, physiology, core stability and technique, and includes case studies and illustrations throughout. It will stay with you as an invaluable reference point through your running career, and not only help you stay injury free but also increase your biomechanical efficiency for long term gains. MORE
