Mindfulness is an important tool that can be utilized to help young athletes improve their overall well-being and athletic performance. #CSGDOCS @_CHKD Check it out! ow.ly/96L850QI7qq

Organized sports participation & exercise activity 📉throughout middle and high school. Why? Check out this graphical abstract, and then read the full study from @ChildrensLA, here: ow.ly/mwno50QI7m2

This #clinicalreview from our new special issue summarizes key considerations to support the #mentalhealth of elite #youth #athletes forward. @CC_Walton @Psychunimelb @KA_Tamminen @UofTKPE Read it here: ow.ly/sxmv50QI7ee

Following primary #ACL reconstruction, athletes – particularly females - in different sports demonstrate short term differences in Y-Balance Test functional scores. Return-to-play evaluation should consider such differences. @HenryEllisMD Read it here: ow.ly/ATea50QrvrQ

Female athletes who experience a second ACL injury within 2 years of #ACLR have ⬆️ psychological readiness and RTS sooner than athletes without a second ACL injury. @rdzar18 et al suggest there may be “sweet spot” for psych readiness + RTS. Check it out: ow.ly/GHIl50QrvlZ

Shear Wave Elastography is a non-invasive imaging modality that can be used 2 evaluate tendon stiffness & elasticity, as seen in female collegiate athletes with higher baseline Achilles tendon stiffness compared 2 nonathletes. @UAV_Ortho @BCW137 Link: ow.ly/t0ow50Qrveu

Only 10% of patients with a concomitant non-surgically treated #MCL injury return to preinjury level of sport one year after #ACLR despite no differences in muscle strength and PROs as compared to isolated ACLR. @fysiobeischer Read here: ow.ly/3OU950Qrv3P

There is wide variability in the proportion of youth considered recovered following concussion depending on the recovery definition, emphasizing the need for a multimodal assessment of recovery @ChildrensPhila @CIRPatCHOP #MindsMatter Online here: ow.ly/Uehv50QruXK

The use of arthrometers can provide valuable data for the examination & treatment of joint injuries. This study found anterior translation of the ankle in ankle was reliably measured with the Mobil-Aider arthrometer. Check it out here: ow.ly/kXpB50QruUI

Athletic performance assessment deficits are common when returning to sport following #ACLR, yet these assessments are underrepresented in the literature, making their impact unclear. @UofARehabMed @UAlberta Read here: ow.ly/XjIo50QruKf

Like scouting a “5-star recruit,” clinicians must seek to obtain the best available evidence to guide practice. @AOSSM_SportsMed Read this special guest editorial from Dr. Kurt Spindler and Dr. Lynette Craft, here: ow.ly/IEe550Qrus3

Addition of GH ER/IR at gradually increasing angles of #shoulder abduction to scapular retraction exercises ⬇️ pain and ⬆️ acromiohumeral distance in patients with subacromial pain syndrome. @leylaseraslan Online here: ow.ly/Riv050QrufW

Abnormalities in the inferior cerebellar peduncle (ICP) maybe involved in the pathology of chronic ankle instability (#CAI). Further research in targeting this area maybe useful in the #diagnostic evaluation of this clinical entity. Read it online now! ow.ly/tWgX50Qruau

Could melatonin be able to acutely improve human exercise performance? #FAPESP #CAPES #CNPQ #UFSCar Check it out here: ow.ly/rTQ150Qru3O

Ankle-GO is the 1st objective score to help in #RTS decision making after Lateral Ankle Sprain #LAS and can help predict likeliness of returning to preinjury level. @PicotBrice #OpenAccess here: ow.ly/r8rP50QrtSX Share: What RTS criteria do you use for LAS?

Muscle synergy during front crawl & backstroke differs between #swimmers with & without shoulder pain. Rehabilitation in swimmers should involve exercises to improve coordination between the upper limbs and the trunk. @yuikomatsuura Online here: ow.ly/LhF550QrtN9

Review from Xue et al. found that force plate measurements of CoP trajectory identify postural control deficits in patients with chronic ankle instability #CAI during static single-leg stance. Read here: ow.ly/K79g50Qrtpz Share: How do you use force plates with CAI?

Patient reported outcomes 1-month & 6-months after #ACLR are associated with running mechanics 6 months post-surgery, & altered loading between limbs is present during running 6 months post-surgery @alexajphd @ORBLab_umich Read it here: ow.ly/RCEZ50Q8Wlt
