Item Restricted The Effect of Dry Needling on Functional and Muscle Activity Among Healthy Adults (Double Blind Randomized Control Trial)(Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University, 2021) Alshehri, Ali Mohammad; المعيدي، قاسم بن ابراهيم2 0Item Restricted Isokinetic Hip Muscles Strength, Flexibility and Functional Performance of Soccer Players in Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia Based on their Field Position(Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University, 2021) Altaweel, Ali Abdullah; نعماني، شبيلي4 0Item Restricted Incidence And Risk Factors Associated With Knee Injuries Among Active – Duty Saudi Arabia Military Services Members(Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University, 2019) Alqahtani, Saeed Fares; فوزي، رافت محمد; الزهراني، عيدان موسىBackground: Children who born late preterm (LP) (between 34+0 and 36+6 weeks +days’ gestation) are more likely to receive less attention which may lead to undiagnosed developmental delays including motor, cognitive and behavioral aspects which may affect different age periods. Early developmental investigations and detection of the potential delays within the first two years after birth give a good opportunity for early detection to avoid further complications. Purpose: To investigate the impact of LP birth on motor, cognitive and behavioural development in Saudi children at corrected age of two years compared to full term (FT) (born between 37 and 41week gestation) children. Method: Descriptive case control study was conducted on children at two years corrected age. Sixty-one LP children matched with 63 control children born at FT compared for motor, cognitive and behavioural development using the Ages & Stages Questionnaires third edition (ASQ-3), Peabody Developmental Motor Scales-2 (PDMSII), Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scales fifth edition (SB5) and Child Behaviour Checklist scale for Ages 1.5–5 (CBCL/1½–5). Result: LP babies scored significantly worse than FT peers on the used outcome measurements. In motor abilities (fine& gross), 90-95% of LP babies were below average and 5-6% reach average level while 70-81% of FT babies at average level. For IQ level half of LP babies were below average level where 60% of FT babies at an average or higher level. LP babies at higher risk of behavior issues as 41% of them at borderline level in both internalizing and externalizing behaviors where 80-84% of FT babies at the normal level. Conclusion: Children born LP showed lower motor performance, lower cognitive abilities and higher level of behavioural problems in comparison with FT counterparts at age of two years.4 0Item Restricted Knee Function Post Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction (ACLR)(Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University, 2017) Alyami, Ali Mohammed Ismail; المعيدي، قاسم بن ابراهيم2 0Item Restricted Effect of ankle sprain on balance and the range of motion among athletes(Saudi Digital Library) A Alomar, Ahmed IbrahaimStudy design: Cross-sectional study Background: Ankle sprain is a common sports injury that occurs among football players, and also in other physically demanding activities such as volleyball, basketball and handball. Football players that suffer from an ankle sprain injury are bound to miss a lot of important competitions due to the effect of the injury. Therefore, it is important to identify the risk factors to decrease the rate of recurrence and reduce injury occurrence as far as possible.Purpose: To assess and compare balance and ROM between injured and intact ankle joints in injured football players group; to compare individuals suffering from ankle injury with a group of healthy football players; to find whether or not balance and ROM return to normal range after a rehabilitation period; and to investigate the possible effect of balance on intact leg in injured group of football players after complete rehabilitation period.Methods: Sixty-four male subjects aged between 18 and 35 years were recruited for this study. The subjects were divided into two groups 32 subjects in each of the healthy and injured groups. Measurement in this study involved balance and ROM with regard to the ankle joint for both groups. In terms of ROM, a manual goniometer was used to take dorsiflexion and planter flexion measurements. A manual goniometer is completely safe to use. For balance, the researcher used the SWAY medical system to measure ankle joint balance. The SWAY medical system has special protocols for football players in order to measure balance.Statistical Analysis: A paired t-test was used to analyse ROM and balance in the ankle joint between the injured and the uninjured side in same subject for the healthy and injured groups. Finally, an independent t-test was used to find differences between the healthy group and the injured group. Results: The ankle sprain injury induces negative effects on the ankle joint of football players. The balance of both legs in the injured group was worse than in the healthy group for the dominant leg (P = 0.0001) which was the injured leg. There is a significant difference between the healthy group and the injured group after injury in the non-dominant leg (P= 0.001). the range of motion only affects injured leg in the injured group, regarding the intact leg there is no significant difference in case of dorsiflexion (P= 0.7873) and plantar flexion (P= 0.4671) when compared with healthy subjects. Comparison between the healthy group and the injured group showed significant difference in the case of ROM for the dominant leg (P= 0.0001) which was the injured part.Conclusion: Ankle sprain is the most dreaded musculoskeletal injury for football players. This study has proven that it impairs balance for both the injured leg and the sound leg, even after a complete rehabilitation period, while range of motion is only affected in the injured leg.19 0
