Kuulovammainen henkilö musiikkiterapiassa : musiikkiterapeutti musiikin, tavoitteiden ja työtapojen määrittelyn äärellä
2015
Tämän laadullisen tutkielman kiinnostuksen kohteena ovat musiikin määrittely, tavoitteet ja työtavat kuulovammaisten musiikkiterapiassa. Luvussa kuulovammaisuus määrittelen taustalle suuntaa antavasti kuulovammaisuutta ja kuulovammaisille tarjolla olevaa muuta kuntoutusta. Pohjatietoa tarvitaan tämän asiakasryhmän kohdalla paljon. Tutkielma edustaa filosofista tutkimusperinnettä pyrkien luomaan yhtenäistä teoriaa (synteesi kuulovammaisten musiikkiterapiasta), jonka myötä tämän sektorin tutkimusta voidaan jatkossa tehdä ja kehittää. Tutkielman tekoa on leimannut hermeneutiikalle tyypillinen tapa edetä. Aineisto koostuu kirjoitetuista lähteistä, joiden analyysitavaksi sopii laadullinen sisäll…
Kinematic and kinetic differences between shod and barefoot running
2016
Syrjälä, J. 2016. Kinematic and kinetic differences between shod and barefoot running. Debartment of Biology of Physical Activity, University of Jyväskylä, Master´s Thesis in Biomechanics, 65 p. Despite the development of footwear technology, the incidence rate of running injuries remains high. The high prevalence of running-related injuries has led to a suggestion that the shoe-development approach is not working efficiently to reduce injuries. The alleged benefits of barefoot running, such as the potential for reduced risk of injury and a more economical approach, has resulted in the scien-tific community and media paying significant attention to barefoot running. Despite multiple differ-…
Simulated skiing as a measurement tool for performance in cross-country sit-skiing
2019
The International Paralympic Committee mandates the development of an evidence-based classification system, which requires a measure of performance. Performance in cross-country sit-skiing is mainly dependent on force generated during the poling phase and is enhanced by trunk flexion–extension movements. Since all sit-skiers have neuromuscular impairment, but different ability to control the trunk, this study aimed to verify if simulated action of poling on an adapted ergometer, together with a cluster analysis, could be used for grouping participants with different impairments according to their performance. On the ergometer, eight male and five female participants performed seven poling c…
The treatment of severe self-injurious behavior through sensory stimulation: A case report
2016
Self-injurious behavior of an institutionalized man with profound intellectual disability was treated with a daily 15-min sensory stimulation program, which consisted of moving the arms and hands of the participant, swinging his body, and massage. The frequency of self-injurious behavior was measured in 10-min sessions. Using a reversal design, it was shown that sensory stimulation decreased the participant’s self-hitting behavior significantly, both in intensity and in frequency. Sensory stimulation is recommended for use in those cases in which functional analysis has shown that self-injury may be reinforced by its sensory consequences.
Neuromuscular Training Warm-up Prevents Acute Noncontact Lower Extremity Injuries in Children’s Soccer : A Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial
2021
Background: Prevention of sports injuries is essential in youth, as injuries are associated with less future physical activity and thus greater all-cause morbidity. Purpose: To investigate whether a neuromuscular training warm-up operated by team coaches is effective in preventing acute lower extremity (LE) injuries in competitive U11-U14 soccer players. Study Design: Randomized controlled trial; Level of evidence, 1. Methods: Twenty top-level U11 to U14 soccer clubs in Finland were randomized into intervention and control groups and assessed for 20 weeks. Participants included 1403 players (280 female, 1123 male; age range, 9-14 years): 673 players (44 teams) in the intervention group and …
Do adolescents with long-term illnesses and disabilities have increased risks of sports related injuries?
2017
peer-reviewed Background: The aim of this study is to examine the rates of sports related injuries in adolescents based on the severity of their long-term illnesses or disabilities (LTID). Few injury prevention strategies in sports and health promotion have explored disaggregation by disability. Methods: Data obtained from the 2014 Finnish Health Behaviour in School-aged Children survey (n = 3716, mean age = 14.8, SD = 1.03) were grouped into adolescents with and without LTID. A further indicator or severity was determined when adolescents reported their LTID affected their participation (affected LTID). Odds ratio (95% CI) were used to determine the associations between sports related inju…
Association between frontal plane knee control and lower extremity injuries : a prospective study on young team sport athletes
2017
Background/aimPoor frontal plane knee control can manifest as increased dynamic knee valgus during athletic tasks. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between frontal plane knee control and the risk of acute lower extremity injuries. In addition, we wanted to study if the single-leg squat (SLS) test can be used as a screening tool to identify athletes with an increased injury risk.MethodsA total of 306 basketball and floorball players participated in the baseline SLS test and a 12-month injury registration follow-up. Acute lower extremity time-loss injuries were registered. Frontal plane knee projection angles (FPKPA) during the SLS were calculated using a two-dimen…
Multifactorial individualised programme for hamstring muscle injury risk reduction in professional football: protocol for a prospective cohort study
2020
IntroductionHamstring muscle injuries (HMI) continue to plague professional football. Several scientific publications have encouraged a multifactorial approach; however, no multifactorial HMI risk reduction studies have been conducted in professional football. Furthermore, individualisation of HMI management programmes has only been researched in a rehabilitation setting. Therefore, this study aims to determine if aspecificmultifactorial and individualised programme can reduce HMI occurrence in professional football.Methods and analysisWe conducted a prospective cohort study over two seasons within the Finnish Premier League and compare the amount of HMI sustained during a control season to…
