The acute effects of an intense stretch-shortening cycle fatigue protocol on the neuromechanical parameters of lower limbs in men and prepubescent boys

Lazaridis S., Patikas D.A., Bassa E., Tsatalas T., Hatzikotoulas K., Ftikas C., Kotzamanidis C. (2018)

The study examined the differences between boys and adults after an intense stretch-shortening cycle fatigue protocol on neuromechanical parameters of the lower limb. Thirteen boys (9–11 years old) and 13 adult men ...

Bilateral Differences in Dancers' Dynamic Postural Stability During Jump Landings

Clarke F., Koutedakis Y., Wilson M., Wyon M. (2020)

Although traditional dance training aims to train dancers' legs equally, the recognized practice of predominately starting and repeating exercises on one side more than the other has led to suggestions that technique classes ...

Biomechanical comparison of six intramedullary nails, for the treatment of extra-articular, proximal tibial fractures

Gkouvas G., Agathangelidis F., Nakas C., David C., Sagris D., Petsatodis G. (2020)

Background: Intramedullary nailing is the “gold standard” treatment modality of diaphyseal fractures of the tibia. However, when the same method is used for extra-articular fractures of the proximal tibia, various problems ...

Biomechanical comparison of two medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction techniques: Quadriceps tendon fixation versus single-tunnel patella fixation with gracilis autograft did not differ in load to failure and stiffness

Raoulis V.A., Hantes M.E., Fyllos A., Chiotelli M.D., Kermanidis A.T., Malahias M.-A., Zibis A. (2021)

Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the ultimate failure load and stiffness of two patellar fixation techniques for medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction: (1) quadriceps tendon fixation ...

Biomechanical evaluation of three patellar fixation techniques for MPFL reconstruction: Load to failure did not differ but interference screw stabilization was stiffer than suture anchor and suture-knot fixation

Raoulis V.A., Zibis A., Chiotelli M.D., Kermanidis A.T., Banios K., Schuster P., Hantes M.E. (2021)

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the maximum load to failure and stiffness of three medial patella-femoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction techniques: (i) suture anchor fixation (SA), (ii) interference screw ...

Clinical and Radiological Outcomes of Anteromedial Portal Versus Transtibial Technique in ACL Reconstruction: A Systematic Review

Loucas M., Loucas R., D’Ambrosi R., Hantes M.E. (2021)

Background: The drilling technique used to make a femoral tunnel is critically important for determining outcomes after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. The 2 most common methods are the transtibial (TT) ...

Clinical reasoning in patients with lower limb tendinopathy a rehabilitation framework

Patselas T., Spanos S. (2020)

Tendinopathy is an “umbrella” term that indicates a load-related, non-rupture injury of the tendon. The etiology of tendinopathy can be considered as multifactorial, and its identification and management have proved to be ...

Comparison of physiological and post-endovascular aneurysm repair infrarenal blood flow

Raptis A., Xenos M., Georgakarakos E., Kouvelos G., Giannoukas A., Labropoulos N., Matsagkas M. (2017)

Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) of abdominal aortic aneurysms results in redirection of blood through the deployed endograft (EG). Even though EVAR is clinically effective, the absolute flow restoration is not warranted. ...

A copper sulfate and hydroxylysine treatment regimen for enhancing collagen cross-linking and biomechanical properties in engineered neocartilage

Makris, E. A.; MacBarb, R. F.; Responte, D. J.; Hu, J. C.; Athanasiou, K. A. (2013)

The objective of this study was to improve the biomechanical properties of engineered neotissues through promoting the development of collagen cross-links. It was hypothesized that supplementing medium with copper sulfate ...

Dance biomechanics: a tool for controlling health, fitness, and training

Koutedakis, Y.; Owolabi, E. O.; Apostolos, M. (2008)

The need for superior performance in dance has impelled teachers and choreographers to use increasingly effective and sophisticated methods of preparation. To that end, such modalities ofbiomechanics as advanced motion-capture, ...

Development of Strong Surfaces Using Functionally Graded Composites Inspired by Natural Teeth-A Theoretical Approach

Giannakopoulos, A. E.; Kordolemis, A.; Zisis, T. (2010)

In recent years functionally-graded composites have been proposed to develop strong surfaces that can withstand high contact and frictional forces. The present work presents a new graded composite that can be used for the ...

Does Turning Affect Shuttle Walking Test Performance in Cardiovascular Disease Patients? A Narrative Review

Pepera G., Sandercock G.R.H. (2021)

Objective: To critically present and discuss the influences of turning on incremental shuttle walking test (ISWT) performance in clinically stable patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD). Methods: We searched the ...

Effect of fatigue on tibial rotation after single- and double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: A 3-dimensional kinematic and kinetic matched-group analysis

Hantes, M. E.; Tsarouhas, A.; Giakas, G.; Spiropoulos, G.; Sideris, V.; Christel, P.; Malizos, K. N. (2012)

Background: Fatigue is an extrinsic factor adversely affecting joint proprioception and neuromuscular response, thereby increasing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) strain and injury risk. The effectiveness of the single- ...
