<title>Does cryotherapy aid proprioception and Throwing Accuracy in the Dominant Shoulder?</title>
<link>http://www.sportsinjuryclinic.net/research/index.php#proprioception_and_throwing</link>
<description><![CDATA[
        The use of cold therapy such as ice packs following an acute shoulder injury is common, as well as part of the rehabilitation plan. During athletic events, athletes may return to play following the cold therapy, however while the effects of this treatment on shoulder proprioception has been assessed, the effects on throwing performance is as yet unknown.

<title>Can the single leg balance test identify risk of ankle sprains?</title>
<link>http://www.sportsinjuryclinic.net/research/index.php#balance_test</link>
<description><![CDATA[Ankle sprains are a common injury which can often be disabling in the athlete.  The ability to predict the susceptibility of an athlete to ankle sprain injuries with a simple test could allow a coach to develop preventative strategies such as balance and proprioceptive training alongside taping techniques to support the ankle, hence reducing the risk of injuries occurring.]]></description>
