Published: October 2021

Background Deficits in dynamic neuromuscular control have been associated with post-injury sequelae and increased injury risk. The Y-Balance Test Lower Quarter (YBT-LQ) has emerged as a tool to identify these deficits. Purpose To review the reliability of the YBT-LQ, determine if performance on the YBT-LQ varies among populations (i.e., sex, sport/activity, and competition level), and to determine the injury risk identification validity of the YBT-LQ based on asymmetry, individual reach direction performance, or composite score. Study Design Systematic Review Methods A comprehensive search was performed of 10 online databases from inception to October 30, 2019. Only studies that tested dynamic single leg balance using the YBT-LQ were included. Studies were excluded if the Y-Balance Test kit was not utilized during testing or if there was a major deviation from the Y-Balance test procedure. For methodological quality assessment, the modified Downs and Black scale and the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale were used. Results Fifty-seven studies (four in multiple categories) were included with nine studies assessing reliability, 36 assessing population differences, and 16 assessing injury prediction were included. Intra-rater reliability ranged from 0.85-0.91. Sex differences were observed in the posteromedial direction (males: 109.6 [95%CI 107.4-111.8]; females: 102.3 [95%CI 97.2-107.4; p = 0.01]) and posterolateral direction (males: 107.0 [95%CI 105.0-109.1]; females: 102.0 [95%CI 97.8-106.2]). However, no difference was observed between sexes in the anterior reach direction (males: 71.9 [95%CI 69.5-74.5]; females: 70.8 [95%CI 65.7-75.9]; p=0.708). Differences in composite score were noted between soccer (97.6; 95%CI 95.9-99.3) and basketball (92.8; 95%CI 90.4-95.3; p <0.01), and baseball (97.4; 95%CI 94.6-100.2) and basketball (92.8; 95%CI 90.4-95.3; p=0.02). Given the heterogeneity of injury prediction studies, a meta-analysis of these data was not possible. Three of the 13 studies reported a relationship between anterior reach asymmetry reach and injury risk, three of 10 studies for posteromedial and posterolateral reach asymmetry, and one of 13 studies reported relationship with composite reach asymmetry. Conclusions There was moderate to high quality evidence demonstrating that the YBT-LQ is a reliable dynamic neuromuscular control test. Significant differences in sex and sport were observed. If general cut points (i.e., not population specific) are used, the YBT-LQ may not be predictive of injury. Clinical population specific requirements (e.g., age, sex, sport/activity) should be considered when interpreting YBT-LQ performance, particularly when used to identify risk factors for injury.

Published: October 2021

Background The incidence of sports-related concussion in the US is between 1.6-3.8 million annually. Identification of ongoing impairment post-concussion continues to be challenging, as research indicates many patients are cleared for return to activity while still suffering subclinical impairment of function. Purpose: To identify and review the current literature on the use of center of mass (COM) during gait as a potential indicator variable after concussive injury. Study Design: Systematic Review Methods A Pubmed search was undertaken utilizing search terms involving gait performance and concussion. Study inclusion criteria included: (1) COM used as a variable in data analysis, (2) study population included individuals diagnosed with concussion, (3) postural control was evaluated throughout the recovery process. Articles were excluded if they were systematic reviews, unedited manuscripts, meta-analyses, or were more than 15 years old. Results Search of the PubMed database identified six articles which matched the determined criteria. The average STROBE score was 26.5/34 (range from 23-30). The areas that had the poorest scoring were bias, study size, statistical methods, participants, descriptive data, and main results. Results of the review indicate that COM displacement was higher in concussion groups with a sufficiently taxing task, such as a dual task paradigm. Conclusion Center of mass measures during gait may be an indicator of ongoing concussive injury involvement after clinical indications have subsided. Level of Evidence 2a

Published: October 2021

Background Athletes who have undergone anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction typically exhibit relatively high/rapid loading of their uninvolved limb during bilateral landing and jumping (vs. their limb that underwent reconstruction), which may place their uninvolved limb at risk for injury. However, previous studies have only examined forces and loading rates for tasks involving an isolated land-and-jump. Purpose The purpose of this study was to examine bilateral landing and jumping kinetics during performance of a repetitive tuck jump task in athletes who had undergone anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction and completed rehabilitation. Study Design Cross-sectional study Methods Nine athletes (four males, five females) participated in this study. All participants had undergone successful unilateral anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, had completed post-operative rehabilitation, and were in the process of completing return-to-sport testing. Athletes performed a repetitive tuck jump task for 10 seconds, while ground reaction forces were recorded for their uninvolved and involved limbs via separate force platforms. Two-way analysis of variance, for within-subjects factors of limb and cycle, was performed for the impact forces, loading rates, and propulsive forces from the first five land-and-jump cycles completed. Results There was not a limb-by-cycle interaction effect or main effect of cycle for the impact forces, loading rates, or propulsive forces; however, there was a main effect of limb for the impact forces (F(1, 8) = 14.64; p=0.005), loading rates (F(1, 8) = 5.60; p=0.046), and propulsive forces (F(1, 8) = 10.38; p=0.012). Impact forces, loading rates, and propulsive forces were higher for the uninvolved limb, compared to the involved limb, over the five land-and-jump cycles analyzed. Conclusion The athletes in this study consistently applied higher and more rapid loads to their uninvolved limb over multiple land-and-jump cycles. This may help to explain the relatively high injury rates for the uninvolved limb in athletes who have returned to sport following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.

Published: October 2021

Background There is no clinical tool that assesses multiple components of postural control potentially impacted by sport-related concussion (SRC). Objective To develop and assess the feasibility and construct validity of the Functional Assessment of Balance in Concussion (FAB-C) battery. Study Design Cross-sectional study. Methods Tests for inclusion in the FAB-C battery were identified through a search of the literature. The feasibility and construct validity of the battery was assessed with a convenience sample of active individuals (13–24 years) with and without a SRC. Feasibility outcomes included battery completion (yes/no), number of adverse events, time to administer (minutes) and cost of the battery (Canadian Dollars). Construct validity was assessed by examining correlations between tests included in the battery, and describing differences [mean (standard deviation), median (range) or proportion] in outcomes between uninjured participants and participants with SRC. Results Seven tests were included in the FAB-C battery. All 40 uninjured participants [12 female; median age 17 years] completed the FAB-C assessment compared to 86% of seven participants with SRC [1 female; median age 17]. No participants demonstrated adverse effects. The median administration time of the battery was 49 minutes (range 44-60). The cost of the battery was low (~$100 Canadian Dollars). Limited correlations (r<0.7) between tests in the battery were observed. A greater percentage of uninjured participants (52% to 82%) passed individual tests in the battery compared to participants with SRC (17% to 66%). Conclusion Although promising, the FAB-C battery requires further evaluation before adoption for widespread clinical use. Level of Evidence Level 3b

Published: October 2021

Background Shooting sports are included in collegiate and Olympic events. However, there is minimal evidence examining injury prevalence and incidence for these athletes. Hypothesis/Purpose The purpose of this study was to systematically review the literature to examine the available evidence regarding the incidence, prevalence, and types of injuries that affect athletes in Olympic-style shooting events. Study Design Systematic review. Methods The electronic databases PubMed, Cochrane Library, Cinahl, MEDLINE, and SPORTDiscus were searched utilizing terms related to shooting and injuries. Studies were included if they reported prevalence or incidence of injury in collegiate or Olympic shooting events, and were excluded if inclusion criteria were not met, full text was unavailable, or not in English. Two reviewers independently screened articles in two phases: 1) screening of titles/abstracts 2) full text review. A third reviewer resolved conflicts. Results Nineteen studies were ultimately included. The sports identified were biathlon, rifle, pistol, and shotgun. Shooting events in both winter and summer Olympics had low percentages of injuries compared to other sports. Winter shooting events had a higher percentage of injuries (6.9%) compared to summer (2.3%). In summer, females demonstrated a higher percentage of injuries (6.9%) compared to males (1.7%). In winter, males had a higher percentage of injuries (8.6%) versus females (5.1%). Conclusion Injury incidence and prevalence was low for athletes in shooting sports in the Olympics. Injury rate was higher in the winter Olympic shooting events likely from increased physiological demand. With injury surveillance focusing on acute injuries rather than chronic, the number of injuries may be underestimated. Females had higher injury rates than males in the summer Olympics while the opposite was observed in the winter Olympics, likely from sex differences and differences in physiological demand for each event.

Government Transparency in Decision Making
Authors: Bluemmel Sven 
Published: October 2021

Freedom of information (FOI) regimes are a hallmark of modern democracies and a crucial element of any government transparency and integrity framework. This paper examines how government responses to COVID-19 brought the need for greater transparency of government decision making to the fore. Genuine engagement with FOI regimes provides a fundamental mechanism to keep government decision makers accountable and increases and maintains trust capital between citizens and the state. In turn, governments rely on this trust capital to take strong and decisive action—as highlighted by global responses to COVID19. The author argues that FOI is an important mechanism to challenge poor government decision making, and ultimately enhance the long-term health of our democracy.

Abstract. In the present study, a new, sensitive, and rapid method was developed for extraction and determination of the trace amounts of Pb (II) and Cd (II) ions in milk samples through magnetic solid-phase extraction using DABCO based-ionic liquid-modified magnetic nanoparticles (Fe3O4/[DABCO-PDO]Cl NPs). Herein, Pb (II) and Cd (II) contents were quantified with flame atomic absorption spectroscopy (FAAS). The effect of different empirical parameters (such as sample pH, adsorbent amount, type and amount of the elution, extraction and desorption times, and the ligand concentration) was evaluated and optimized for simultaneous extraction and pre-concentration Pb (II) and Cd (II) ions. The calibration curve was linear under the optimum condition in the concentration range of 0.4-200 µgL-1 for Cd, and 0.5-120 µgL-1 for Pb, respectively. The pre-concentration factor was 67, with the detection limit of 0.09 and 0.07 µgL-1 for Pb and Cd, respectively. The relative standard deviation values (RSD %) of the proposed method were lower than 2.6 %. The developed method was successfully used to determine lead and cadmium content in milk samples. The information obtained from the method validation has been used to estimate the expanded uncertainty for the determination of Pb (II) and Cd (II) at trace levels in commercial milks.

Resumen. En este trabajo, se ha desarrollado un nuevo, sensible y rápido procedimiento para la extracción y determinación de iones Pb(II) y Cd(II) a nivel de trazas en leche, mediante extracción en fase sólida utilizando nanopartículas magnéticas modificadas con líquido iónico basado en DABCO (Fe3O4/[DABCO-PDO]Cl NPs). La determinación de ambos metales se llevó a cabo por espectrometría de absorción atómica con atomización en llama. Se ha evaluado el efecto de diferentes parámetros empíricos (tales como pH, cantidad de adsorbente, tipo y cantidad de solvente de elución, tiempo de extracción y desorción, y concentración del ligando); estos parametros fueron optimizados enfocándose en la extracción y preconcentración simultanea de ambos iones. Empleando las condiciones establecidas, se obtuvo buena linealidad de las curvas de calibración en el intervalo de concentraciones 0.4-200 µgL-1 para Cd, y 0.5-120 µgL-1 para Pb, respectivamente. Se logró el factor de preconcentración 67, con los límites de detección 0.09 y 0.07 µgL-1 para Pb y Cd, respectivamente. Los valores de desviación estandar relativa (RSD %) en el procedimiento propuesto no sobrepasaron 2.6 %. En el análisis de leche, se obtuvieron resultados satisfactorios. Los datos obtenidos en etapa de validación se utilizaron para estimar la incertidumbre expandida en la determinación de Pb y Cd a nivel de trazas en leche.
