Does a new robust statistical model for interpretation of differences in serial test result from an individual?
The proposed statistical approach may be more appropriate in assessing difference between serial measurements when individual data are not normally distributed.
The multistation proprioceptive exercise program effectively prevented ankle injuries in basketball players. Analysis of number needed to treat clearly showed the relatively low prevention effort that is necessary to avoid an ankle injury. Additional biomechanical tests confirmed the neuromuscular effect and confirmed a relationship between injury prevention and altered neuromuscular performance. With this knowledge, proprioceptive training may be optimized to specifically address the demands in various athletic activities.
