Sports injury video 1 – Tendinopathy and hamstrings

Clinical Edge is offering a series of new sports injury videos ahead of their annual virtual sports conference, but they are only going to be available for a limited time. So this week the video is about 45 mins long, but split into two presentations:

1. “Thou shalt load. But how?” was the title of Dr Ebonie Rio’s presentation on tendinopathy. It was just an overview of tendinopathy mechanisms of injury and management. Duration: ~16 mins
2. “Objective strength assessment for hamstring strain injuries” was the title by Jack Hickey on a novel measurement apparatus to measure both isometric and eccentric hamstring strength. I particularly enjoyed this presentation because it’s pretty cool and it’s the first time I’ve heard of Jack’s work until now. The new apparatus’ concept is kinda similar to the nordboard if you think about it, it’s pretty clever of them to utilise the load cells to measure hamstring strength. The findings of Jack’s PhD is pretty interesting as well, and as he mentioned they should be published soon. Duration: ~21 mins

I highly recommend you to watch this video and the upcoming ones. I also recommend signing up for the virtual conference, which I did last year and it’s really excellent stuff. The only thing for me is the price, which I find somewhat pricey for webinars only, and you don’t get to download them and keep them, that’s my only problem with it. But it really isn’t that costly, I think party it’s because I live in Malaysia and the currency etc. But you really get the latest in terms of sports physio stuff and top speakers, so I would still highly recommend it.

Anyways please click here to get to the clinical edge website to watch the video. *Please note that you will be required to register with your email before you can access the video, please do that, it’s worth it.
