Thesis
Kananizadegan, M. The outcome from anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in an adult male population from United Arab of Emirates. (Thesis). University of Salford

In sports physiotherapy, outcome measurements are used to identify the athlete’s ability to tolerate the physical demands inherent in sports specific movement and prevent re-injury or identify readiness to return to competition. There are limited st... Read More about The outcome from anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in an adult male population from United Arab of Emirates.

The impact of swim training loads on shoulder musculoskeletal physical qualities (2021)
Thesis
Yoma Galleguillos, M. The impact of swim training loads on shoulder musculoskeletal physical qualities. (Thesis). University of Salford

Competitive swimmers are exposed to high amounts of training loads. With a prevalence reported as high as 91%, shoulder pain is the main cause for missed or modified training in swimmers. The aetiology of injuries in sports is multifactorial includin... Read More about The impact of swim training loads on shoulder musculoskeletal physical qualities.

The role of infrared thermal imaging in the assessment of chronic midportion Achilles tendinopathy (2021)
Thesis
Oliver, B. The role of infrared thermal imaging in the assessment of chronic midportion Achilles tendinopathy. (Thesis). University of Salford

Infrared thermal imaging cameras (IRC) are non-contact devices that allow the capture of radiation presented in the form of colour-coded images, therefore they may provide an effective method of assessment for chronic midportion Achilles tendinopathy...

Factors influencing the Acromio-Humeral distance in elite athletes
Thesis
Mackenzie, T., Herrington, L., & Horsley, I. (in press). Factors influencing the Acromio-Humeral distance in elite athletes. (Thesis). University of Salford

Shoulder Impingement Syndrome is prevalent in sportsmen and can end sporting careers. The Acromio-Humeral distance (AHD) is a measure taken with ultrasound (US) and used to quantify the space in which structures in the shoulder become impinged. This...
