Therefore, wounds need to be managed comprehensively through proper assessment, following proper techniques and, using proper dressings according to the nature of the wound and patient preferences. Careful assessment of the wound is vital to determine the healing progress and, to select the type of material to be used for the dressing. Pain assessment and its control are un-forgetful aspects of successful wound management. Though advanced dressing materials are available in facilitated settings, conventional wound materials including topical antibacterial agents are widely used in most of the settings due to unavailability, low cost, and unawareness. In this review, briefly discuss the general principles of wound management, principles of wound bed preparation, dressing selection, antibacterial agents and dressing materials using for wound care.","PeriodicalId":104100,"journal":{"name":"Research & Investigations in Sports Medicine","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129482565","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ACL is the main static stabilizer against anterior translation of the tibia on the femur. Because of oblique anatomy of ACL, it is efficient for limiting excessive anterior tibial translation as well as axial tibial and valgus with knee rotations [2]. Besides its mechanical function related to knee stabilization, there is also neuromuscular function of the ACL due to mechanoreseptors [3]. If there is an ACL deficiency, deafferentation zones can be seen. These zones alter spinal and supra-spinal motor control [4]. The changes in motor control strategy can reveal changes in proprioception, postural control, muscle strength, movement and recruitment patterns [3]. Therefore, an ACL injury is not only a musculoskeletal injury, both also neuro physiological dysfunction.","PeriodicalId":104100,"journal":{"name":"Research & Investigations in Sports Medicine","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128536316","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

DOI: 10.31031/RISM.2018.03.000559 Volume 3 Issue 2 most common involved apophyseal injury (22.2-53.7%) followed by Anterior inferior iliac spine (14.8%-20%) and Anterior Superior Iliac spine (19.2%-40.8%). Iliac crest is also one of the less common sites for apophyseal injury (1.5-5%). The average age ranged from 13.8 to 15.2 years with range extending from 11-17 years indicating it involved mainly students in middle and high school. Mechanism of Injury As discussed above, epiphyseal plates and apophysis are the weakest and muscles, tendons and ligaments are stronger before puberty; therefore, kids involved in contact sports are more vulnerable to injuries while the same mechanism will cause muscle or ligament sprain in adults [7]. The main mechanism is sudden severe contraction of the muscle in an unfused apophysis. The pull is caused by sudden severe concentric or eccentric contraction of a large muscle to either accelerate or decelerate the body mass.10The other rare mechanism is sudden passive lengthening of the muscle in case of dancers and cheerleaders which involved ischial tuberosity [10]. In most of the cases, injury is from indirect force over pelvic apophysis from the muscle of the lower extremity except in case of Iliac crest where injury is caused by pull from abdominal muscles: external oblique, internal oblique or rectus abdominis muscle. It is caused mainly by sudden twist of the trunk and less commonly by direct blow over the iliac crest [7]. Ischial tuberosity avulsion injury is mainly from sudden stopping during sprinting activity causing hamstring group of muscles to fire to reverse the motion and overloading ischial tuberosity. Injury to anterior superior and anterior inferior iliac spine is mainly from sprint activity or kicking. Pubic symphysis avulsion injury is mainly from forceful hip adduction against resistance [7,8]. Diagnosis History and physical examination play an important role in the diagnosis of the injury. The athletes report sudden onset of pain associated with a ‘pop’ during sprinting, gymnastics, or contact sports [3,7]. Site of the pain is also important where pain is located in buttock or upper hamstring area in Ischial tuber","PeriodicalId":104100,"journal":{"name":"Research & Investigations in Sports Medicine","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124054693","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Common causes of neck pain include macrotrauma (i.e. single traumatic/forceful events) and microtrauma (i.e. minor, repetitive trauma/injury over a long time) both of which can result in loss of function. This loss of function can negatively impact an individual’s performance and activities of daily living. A unique subpopulation that is rapidly rising and commonly reports neck pain are eSport athletes. Colleges across the country have seen a steady surge in this growing population. A recent poll of over 40 eSport athletes revealed that 34% of them experienced neck and back while competitively gaming [3]. There is growing concern over the health and well-being of these student athletes. Their posture and sustained positioning during competitive gaming can last for 3-6 hours and must be considered as a potential contributing factor of their symptoms. A decline in verticality and upright seated positioning has been seen to occur within 30 minutes of competition. (Figure 1) These prolonged, aberrant postures can propagate a host of signs and symptoms often associated with neck pain.
