Cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic shoulder and elbow score in Finnish-speaking overhead athletes
Background The Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic Shoulder and Elbow score (KJOC) is developed to evaluate the shoulder and elbow function in overhead athletes. To date, the score has not been adapted into Finnish language. The aim of this study was to perform a cross-cultural adaptation of the Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic Shoulder and Elbow score (KJOC) into Finnish language and evaluate its validity, reliability, and responsiveness in overhead athletes. Methods Forward–backward translation method was followed in the cross-cultural adaptation process. Subsequently, 114 overhead athletes (52 males, 62 females, mean age 18.1 ± 2.8 years) completed the Finnish version of KJOC score, Disabilitie…
Medial gastrocnemius muscle fascicle function during heel-rise after non-operative repair of Achilles tendon rupture
Background To better understand muscle remodelling in dynamic conditions after an Achilles tendon rupture, this study examined the length of medial gastrocnemius muscle fascicles during a heel-rise at 6- and 12-months after non-operative ATR treatment. Methods Participants (15 M, 3F) were diagnosed with acute Achilles tendon rupture. Medial gastrocnemius subtendon length, fascicle length and pennation angle were assessed in resting conditions, and fascicle shortening during bi- and unilateral heel-rises. Findings Fascicle shortening was smaller on the injured side (mean difference [95% CI]: −9. 7 mm [−14.7 to −4.7 mm]; −11.1 mm [−16.5 to −5.8 mm]) and increased from 6- to 12 months (4.5 mm …
Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic Shoulder and Elbow score kyselylomakkeen adaptaatio ja validointi Suomeen
Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic (KJOC) Shoulder and Elbow score -kyselylomake on Yhdysvalloissa kehitetty yli olan urheilijoiden olka- ja kyynärpään itsearvioidun toimintakyvyn työväline. Yli olan urheilulla tarkoitetaan lajeja, joissa yläraajaan kohdistuu toistuvaa kuormitusta hartiatasossa tai sen yläpuolella. Yläraajan vammat ovat kyseisissä lajeissa yleisiä ja luotettavat terveyden seurannan mittarit ovat merkittävä osa urheilijoiden hyvinvoinnin arviointia. KJOC-kysely sisältää esitieto-osion sekä kymmenen yläraajan toiminta- ja suorituskykyä tiedustelevaa kysymystä. Alkuperäinen englanninkielinen KJOC-kysely on osoittautunut päteväksi, toistettavaksi ja muutosherkäksi mittariksi, mutta…
