1. A Study of Screening High School, Collegiate, and Olympic/Professional-level Athletes for Characteristics that May Lead to Injury

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to perform comprehensive clinical and biomechanical screening of high school, collegiate-level, and Olympic/professional-level athletes to identify individual functional and performance deficits that can lead to non-contact lower extremity injury.

2. A Study to Analyze Sport Nutrition Knowledge and Its Influence on Energy Availability and Body Composition in Athletes

   La Crosse, Wis.

   The purpose of this study is to assess the sport nutrition knowledge base of athletes and the relationship between energy availability and body composition in athletes.

3. A Study of Performance Metrics and Their Relationship with Competition Results and Injury Development in Nordic Combined and Ski Jumping Athletes

   Rochester, Minn., Minneapolis, Minn.

   The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance metrics of Nordic Combined and Ski Jumping athletes.

4. A Study to Evaluate a Return to Sports After Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the outcomes and complications of anatomic total shoulder and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty systems.

    

5. Game Time Consults

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the utilization patterns and satisfaction of telemedicine on the sideline, and to evaluate the effect of sideline telemedicine on reducing unnecessary emergency department visits.

    

6. A Study to Evaluate Meniscal Extrusion with and without Medial Knee Unloader Bracing Using Ultrasound

   Minneapolis, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to quantify medial meniscal extrusion with and without a medial knee unloader brace using ultrasonography in patients with isolated medial knee pain.

7. Investigation of Neurocognitive Measures of Sport-Related Injury

   Rochester, Minn.

   The overall objective is to provide an onsite diagnosis with subsequent return to play criteria, as well as, lower the risk of traumatic brain injury by primary prevention through cervical spine neuromuscular control and vision training. The central hypothesis is that improved understanding of neurocognitive measures and function will provide improved diagnosis of concussion and help reduce the incidence of subsequent sports-related injury.
