Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC2,1) values for the final composite score of the LESS-RT were calculated to assess interrater reliability of t. Two sets of raters used the LESS-RT to evaluate participants as they performed 4 trials of a jump-landing task. The LESS-RT evaluates 10 jump-landing characteristics that may predispose an individual to lower extremity injuries. 43 healthy volunteers (24 women, 19 men) between the ages of 18 and 23. To determine the interrater reliability of a real-time version of the LESS, the LESS-RT. One limitation of this tool is that it cannot be assessed in real time and requires the use of video cameras. Platelet-rich plasma treatment improves outcomes for chronic proximal hamstring injuries in an athletic population. Traub S, Nichols R, Roper M, Mei Dan O, McCarty EC. The Landing Error Scoring System (LESS) is a reliable and valid clinical assessment tool that was developed to identify individuals at risk for lower extremity injuries. Title: Professor: Institution: University of Colorado Denver - Anschutz Medical Campus. There is a need for reliable clinical assessment tools that can be used to identify individuals who may be at risk for injury. Details of the individual fracture morphologies indicate the various forces and biomechanics. After I was able to walk without crutches I immediately noticed a difference and could walk pain free. At the time of the surgery the pain in my hip kept me from being able to play lacrosse for the University of Denver. Trauma to 61 skeletal elements indicates the primary impact was to the feet (i.e., feet-first landing), followed by an anterior impact to the body (i.e., fall forwards). Omer Mei-Dan performed a labral repair and micro-fracture surgery on my left hip in September of 2014. Skeletal trauma was analyzed using full-body post mortem computed tomography (PMCT) and contextual information related to the circumstances of the jump as reported by the Coroner.

In this case, the jumper impacted the ground from a fall of 439m in a feet-first landing position, as a result of a partially deployed parachute, under extreme vertical deceleration. This case report details the skeletal trauma resulting from a fatal B.A.S.E jump in Australia. There are numerous hazards associated with B.A.S.E jumps which often result in injury and, occasionally, fatality. The term 'B.A.S.E jump' refers to jumping from a building, antenna, span (i.e., bridge) or earth (i.e., cliff) structure, and parachuting to the ground. A stiffer jump-landing technique is a risk factor in th. Literature shows that several kinematic factors are related to lower acute and overuse injuries. An article was included 1) if the article was an observational, retrospective or prospective study 2) if the article investigated the relationship between injuries and the visible and easily measurable kinematic variables or malalignments of the jump-landing technique 3) if the article met a predefined quality cut-off score. We searched ISI Web of Knowledge, SPORTDiscus, PubMed, EMBASE and SCOPUS for all studies, published before October 2012, which looked at the relation between kinematic risk factors and malalignments of jump-landing and injuries. This review provides an overview of the kinematic variables and malalignments during jump-landing, which could be attributed to overuse or acute injury occurrence. Recent publications have focused on climbing and BASE jumping injuries as well as observing the mental characteristics and hormonal changes exhibited by extreme sports athletes.įor more information visit: of the lower extremity tend to be associated with jump-landing movements. His personal interest and curiosity in these sports has led to further research in extreme sports.

For more than 20 years, he has been involved in numerous disciplines including mountaineering, wing-suit flying and BASE jumping. Mei-Dan is a world-renowned extreme sports athlete. Mei-Dan is a world-renowned extreme sports athlete. For more than 20 years, he has been involved in numerous disciplines including mountaineering, wing-suit. He also performs non-operative injections modalities for the conservative treatments for joint and articular cartilage lesions. Mei-Dan is a world-renowned extreme sports athlete. Mei-Dan travels the world to teach these techniques and to present his advanced work in the field. and Mei-Dan’s study was 294 per 100,000 jumps and 16 Laver et al. He is heavily involved in cutting-edge research in this field and develops new surgical techniques to treat athletes with hip pathologies. Mei-Dan specializes in hip preservation surgery consisting of hip arthroscopy, cartilage regeneration, femur, and acetabulum realignment techniques.
