Here's another: [url]http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=15297123[/url] and another: [url]http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=12875565[/url] and another: [url]http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=12741421[/url] This one mentions self-healing and meniscal damage: [url]http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=12029510[/url] Having just learned about the Donjoy brand, this one seemed pertinent: [url]http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=11491426[/url] Do your kids ride?: [url]http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/cgi/content/full/108/2/503[/url] A brace seems to help immediately post ACL surgery, but two years later there's no advantage in healing: [url]http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=11252459[/url] An overview: (are prophylactic knee braces ribbed and lubricated latex, wheras the others might use stiffeners such as carbon fiber ;) :rotfl: Just kidding; sometimes these medical terms sound a little unusual) [url]http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=10709020[/url] A traditional acedemia "Well I'm not sure, it should be studied some more" paper circa 2000: [url]http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=10670507[/url] Earlier vs later scheduling of ACL/MCL surgery: [url]http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=10447618[/url] Bracing or not after surgery: [url]http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=10431312[/url] "Nobody seems to have studied the durned effectiveness of bracing yet!" circa 1998: [url]http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=9785773[/url] If ya wear your straps too tight your legs will lose good blood circulation (say "perfusion" slowly; it doesn't mean confusion ;)): [url]http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=9689380[/url] Rugby guys studied knee braces too (circa 1998): [url]http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=9629609[/url] High school football and knee braces: [url]http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=9392932[/url] Controlling tibial translations (ie the bottom half of your leg is "loose" ie sloppy knee joint: [url]http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=8827316[/url] JP thinks that knee braces are Al(b)right at improving resistance to lateral blows by 20-30%: [url]http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=8571003[/url] This guy tried out lots of models personally: [url]http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=7788312[/url] Prophylactic knee braces in football circa 1993: [url]http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=8366281[/url] Circa 1993 knee brace dimensions are good enough for optimal (maximal) valgus force accomodation: [url]http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=8326718[/url] Swedish hockey players studied circa 1991 with no great reduction of knee injuries (I'm not sure of nature of braces used by them): [url]http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=1777786[/url] I would think the Asterisk folks ought to have a binder or two, or a shelf or two of such and related research papers relevant to their work. Happy reading. Basic research can be real eye opening. [/QUOTE]
