Pollard CD, Sigward SM, Powers CM. Limited hip and knee flexion during landing is associated with increased frontal plane knee motion and moments. Clin Biomech (Bristol, Avon). 2010 Feb;25(2):142-6.
Design: Scoping Review
Methods: Eight databases were searched for studies published in the last 30 years. Inclusion criteria : • At least one modality of cryotherapy treatment applied simultaneous to compression or as a comparison, relevant to sports injury management; this included cryo-compressive devices and gel/ice packs with concomitant compression.
Key message: Although compression appears a useful adjunct to cooling modalities for the management of sports injury, no definitive agreement on optimum compression concurrent with cooling protocols were drawn from the studies.
• Healthy and injured participants were included.
Results:
22 studies were included.
•
• Inconsistent methodologies, low sample sizes and variability in outcome measures provided uncertainty over optimum protocols. • A lack of previous understanding in the protocols in the available literature for isolated cryotherapy/compression applications prevents understanding of the therapeutic benefits of combined cryo-compression.

• No definitive agreement behind optimal cryo-compression applications were identified collectively from studies other than the consensus that compression aids the magnitude of cooling .
