Preventie: de nieuwste evidence-based inzichten over blessurepreventiescreening en blessurerisicoprofilering voor atleten uit meerdere sporten en voor verschillende blessures. Revalidatie: return to sport screening na een blessure of na een operatie.

🙌 Samen met Prof. Dr. Damien Van Tiggelen organiseren we een 2-daagse opleiding voor kinesitherapeuten, artsen en iedereen die meer wil weten over evidence-based testing & screening. Deze 2 dagen gaan over preventie en rehabilitatie:

🎓 Hylyght expert opleiding in preventie & revalidatie in het Nederlands (24 punten bij PQK): 📅 17-18 november in Gent (BE) ➡️ Voor meer info:

3. These findings suggest that neck strength can be included in sports prevention screenings for rugby. ❗ In the Hylyght platform, there is a sport-specific screening for rugby players that includes the assessment of isometric neck extension strength.

1. Neck strength is a modifiable intrinsic risk factor for concussion and may be an important component of a strength and conditioning regime. 2. Greater neck strength was observed at mid and end-of-season time points versus pre-season across the study population.

🧠 There was a significant association between extension strength and concussion; a 10% increase in extension strength was associated with a 13% reduction in concussion rate.

➡️ 225 rugby players were assessed for neck strength at three points throughout the 2018/2019 season using a method of isometric contraction. Thirty concussions occurred in 29 players during the study period; a rate of 13,7 concussions per 1000 hours played.

Limited evidence exists as to the existence of modifiable intrinsic risk factors for concussion, leaving athletes and clinicians with few options when developing prevention strategies.

ℹ️ Concussion is one of the highest-burden injuries within professional Rugby Union (‘rugby’) and comes with high health and financial costs to players and teams.

Is there a way of preventing concussions in male professional rugby players? 🤔

In this brief excerpt, Prof. Van Tiggelen introduced the timing of when most injuries happen in soccer games. Can you guess when? ➡️ Find the full study by Waldén & Ekstrand here: https://t.co/b1zUejW2BA

📹 Professor Van Tiggelen gave a webinar at Physiozentrum about ACL injury prevention and rehabilitation. 1️⃣ The first step of the injury prevention framework is getting to know the specific sport.

This webinar is co-organized with our Austrian partner Physiozentrum für Weiterbildung and will be in English. Register here:

1) Prevention: the latest evidence-based insights on injury prevention screening and injury risk profiling for athletes from multiple sports. 2) Rehab: Return-to-Sports screening after an ACL injury or surgery

➡️ First, the theoretical framework of testing & screening will be shortly explained. ➡️ After that, 2 topics will be covered related to ACL injuries:
