<p><b>Objective</b>: This study aimed to investigate the gap between the knowledge and practice of shared decision making(SDM)and differences in goal setting according to patient's age range and years of therapist's experience.</p><p><b>Methods</b>: A total of 115 therapists working with pediatric patients were surveyed via a web-based questionnaire to determine the burden of goal setting as well as the status and content of SDM practice related to goal setting. The results were compared in two groups according to years of the therapist's experience, and the contents of free descriptions were subjected to qualitative descriptive analysis.</p><p><b>Results</b>: Over two-thirds of the subjects felt burdened by goal setting. There was no difference in the status of SDM practice between the two groups, while there were differences in the content of goal setting based on the age of the target patients. Additionally, there was a discrepancy between the state of SDM practice and the outcome of the qualitative descriptive analysis.</p><p><b>Conclusions</b>: Therapists in the pediatric field face a gap in their knowledge and practice of SDM, suggesting differences in the content of goal setting depending on the years of experience.</p>

[Purpose] To analyze the kinematics of the foot and ankle, and muscle activities during single-leg lateral drop landing of individuals with histories of ankle sprain. [Subjects and Methods] Twenty individuals with histories of ankle sprain (past history group, 11 males, 9 females, mean age: 21.2) and another twenty individuals without any history of ankle sprain (no history group, 12 males, 8 females, mean age: 21.2) were enrolled in this study. Subjects landed on a single-leg, after dropping from a 30-cm high platform to the lateral side floor 30 cm from the platform. Plantar and dorsal flexion angles of the ankle joint, pronation and supination angles of the hindfoot, and muscle activities of the lower legs were measured. [Results] The plantar flexion angle before landing, the supination angle, and tibialis anterior activity after landing in the past history group were significantly higher than those in the no history group. [Conclusion] Higher activity of the tibialis anterior is considered to be related to excessive supination. These findings may indicate that excessive supination during side landing increases the risk of recurrence of ankle sprain.

[Purpose] To clarify influences of neck and head extension on single-leg landing. [Subjects and Methods] Thirty-one healthy young women (average age, 20.1 years old) participated in this study. Single-leg landings from a 30 cm-height platform were performed by all of the participants with the head and neck extended and in the neutral position. The maximum knee flexion, valgus angles, and anteflexion, retroflexion, and lateral bending angles of the trunk, and the landing position of the two postures were measured and compared. [Results] The knee valgus angle was significantly greater in the neck and head extended posture than in the neutral posture. There were no significant differences in knee flexion, anteflexion, retroflexion, lateral bending of the trunk, or landing position. [Conclusion] Single-leg landing with the neck and head extended is associated with an increase in knee valgus angle. This suggests that neck and head extension is one of the causes of non-contact anterior cruciate ligament injury.
