2012 is almost at an end, and it's been a year of gold medal triumphs, and more than a few major controversies. Armstrong, Wiggins, Farah, Bolt, Ennis, London, Messi, Spain, Tygart, Kimmage and Walsh were some of the newsmakers of the year, not often for the right reasons, in a year that brought many firsts. FizjoMaster Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) damage can be a common injury for many sportsmen and women, but new research has shown that the standard treatment of a knee brace does little to improve a person's recovery time. neoReh Researchers looked at 29 studies into the treatment after reconstructive ACL surgery and noted that while bracing did record an improvement in the person's recovery, a programme involving physical therapy soon after the operation yielded much better results. They noted that strength, range-of-motion and functionality exercises provide significantly better outcomes in terms of helping the person to recover to the debilitating injury.
FizjoMaster And I took the opportunity, in providing answers, of editorializing somewhat, and embellishing those answers with some facts and trivia, to sum up what has been a memorable and enthralling year in sport. I know the last month has seen the posting frequency dwindle - let's call it a loss of creative energy, but the plan is to do more posting next year, including more translation of sports science research during slower news times. I'm mindful that there are outstanding journalists who do a better job of reporting the news (e.g: Armstrong and cycling's dramas this year), and so we'll try to return to a more niche-based offering in 2013. neoReh
