Significant Accomplishments
Research team wins Nicolas Andry Career Achievement Award
The research team of Tim Hewett, PhD, Greg Myer, PhD, Mark Paterno, PhD, Carmen Quatman, PhD, and Kevin Ford, PhD, received the 2012 Nicolas Andry career achievement award by the Association of Bone and Joint Surgeons (ABJS). The award recognized the group's work on the paper titled, "A Systematic Approach to Prevent Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury." The ABJS recognizes individuals through this award who have conducted and published work pertaining to the musculoskeletal system that has significantly contributed to orthopaedic knowledge and practice.
Michael Shaffer, DO recognized by Cincy Magazine
Michael Shaffer, DO was honored in the December 2011 issue of Cincy Magazine by being named one of the top Sports Medicine doctors in the Tri-state area. Shaffer has special interests in injury prevention, altered foot mechanics, and manipulative treatment of spine and pelvis related dysfunction. He specializes in the evaluation and treatment of female athletes and also serves as the division's Fellowship Director.
Division lands another NFL Charities Award
For the fifth time in six years, the Division of Sports Medicine received a grant from the National Football League (NFL) charities organization. The project, titled “Neuromuscular Predictors of Outcome following Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: a Prospective and Longitudinal Study of the Effect of Meniscus Injury,” will be led by Paterno. Other division staff participating with the project include Hewett and Laura Schmitt, PhD, co-investigators; Myer and Ford, associate investigators; and Staci Thomas, coordinator. Anterior cruciate ligament injuries combined with meniscal pathology are among the most disabling injuries sustained by athletes. The goal of the project is to understand the mechanisms underlying outcomes following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) in a young, athletic population with meniscus injury.
Division Highlights
Nicholas Edwards, MD, MPH
Dr. Nicholas Edwards received second year funding for his project titled "Effects of physical activity on cardiovascular risk factors in youth". This project will help determine the best methods for preventing children from developing heart problems as they mature.
Jeff Taylor-Haas, PT, MPT, OCS, CSCS
Jeff Taylor-Haas was awarded a grant from the American Physical Therapy Association - Ohio Component. The purpose of this prospective outcome study is four-fold:
- Analyze the relationship among hip strength, foot structure, two-dimensional running gait, qulality of life, and presence of tibial stress fracture in adolescent runners (ages 12 to 19) at both the time of the initial physical therapy evaluation and the discharge physical therapy re-evaluation.
- Assess the effect of foot structure on tibial stress fracture location
- Assess the relationship among demographic variables, such as patient age and length of time participating in running, and the presence/location of a tibial stress fracture
- Assess the effect of physical therapy interventions on the dependent variables of hip strength, two dimensional running gait, and quality of life.
Catherine Quatman-Yates, PhD
Catherine Quatman-Yates, PhD, received two grants in fiscal year 2012. The first grant titled "The Clinical Utility of the Balance Error Scoring System", is funded by the University Research Council (URC) Postdoctoral Fellow Research Program at the University of Cincinnati. The long term goal of this project is to determine the most effective measures to detect and monitor deficits in postural control following concussion in children and adolescents.
Dr. Quatman-Yates second award is funded by the Ohio Physical Therapy Association and will test hypotheses regarding the impact of maturation on motor control abilities and specifically postural control abilities.
Significant Publications
Barber Foss, K. D., M. Hornsby,N. M. Edwards, G. D. Myerand T. E. Hewett. Is body composition associated with an increased risk of developing anterior knee pain in adolescent female athletes? Phys Sportsmed. 40(1): 13-19. 2012.
- This publication is significant because it found that those adolescents with increased BMI were not at increased risk of developing knee pain through participating in athletics. Without this supposed increased risk, adolescent females with increased BMI should continue to participate in athletic activity to decrease the spiral of inactivity leading to increased obesity.
- Faigenbaum, A. D., A. Farrell, M. Fabiano, T. Radler, F. Naclerio, N. A. Ratamess, J. Kang and G. D. Myer. Effects of integrative neuromuscular training on fitness performance in children. Pediatr Exerc Sci. 23(4): 573-584. 2011
- The significance of the current investigation is that integrative neuromuscular training instructed by qualified professionals can result in significant improvements in selected health- and skill-related fitness components in children, and provides a cost-effective and time efficient method for promoting physical activity in pediatric fitness programs. The salient findings from the present investigation indicate that ~15 min of integrative neuromuscular training performed twice weekly results in significantly greater gains in health and skill-related fitness measures than gains normally achieved with traditional physical education.

- This landmark study was one of the first to report the incidence of a second anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury after undergoing and ACL reconstruction normalized to athletic exposure. The results suggest that young, active individuals who return to sports after undergoing an ACL reconstruction were 15 times more likely to suffer a second ACL injury than a healthy individual who has never suffered an initial ACL injury. Female athletes who returned to sports after ACL reconstruction were 4 times more likely to suffer a second ACL injury than males and 6 times more likely to suffer an injury on the opposite leg than the same side as the original ACL injury.

- Clinical imaging studies of acute ACL injury demonstrate that hyperintense signals in the subchondral tibia and femur (bone bruises) occur in more than 80% of patients who sustain complete ACL disruption. This study is significant as it identifies a potential link between kinematic variables that may contribute to ACL injury mechanisms and resultant bone bruises following ACL injury. This determination of the mechanistic links in to injury will help guide injury mechanism driven interventions to prevent ACL injuries.

- This systematic review indicated that although MRI may be a relatively sensitive, specific, and accurate clinical tool for identifying osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) abnormalities, there is limited evidence available to provide strong conclusions regarding the utility of MRI to provide accurate classifications or grading of OCD lesions.
