STUDY CONTEXT. This study is an explorative analysis of baseline data from an ongoing prospective cohort study aiming to assess the correlation between lower limb function and early post- traumatic osteoarthritis after ACLR.20 Participants were consecutively recruited from the department of orthope- dics, Skåne University Hospital. All patients who had un- dergone an ACLR during the time period January 2017- Feb- ruary 2019 were asked to participate via letter. Inclusion criteria were i) one year (10-16 months) after ACLR, with or without associated injuries to other knee structures, ii) age between 18-35 years. Exclusion criteria were i) previous se- rious injury or surgery to either knee, ii) other diseases or disorders affecting lower extremity function (e.g., hernia). The present study has received ethical approval from the Swedish Ethical Review Board (Dnr 2017/916). The partic- ipants received a letter with information of the study and gave their written consent before participating in the study. All participants were informed that they were allowed to cancel their participation in the study at any time. DATA COLLECTION‌ Baseline data for the prospective cohort study was collected between March 2018 and March 2020. One physiotherapist (AC) collected all data. Demographic data (age, height, weight, type of ACL graft) was collected prior to the testing. Before executing the tests, all participants performed a five-minute warm up on an ergometer bicycle. The HHD torque measures were performed first and then the IKD as- sessments for all participants, allowing for a rest period of at least five minutes in between. HAND-HELD DYNAMOMETER Isometric knee extension torque was measured with a HHD (Power Track II Commander Echo; JTECH Medical, Salt Lake City, Utah, USA) with the participants sitting on a treat- ment table with their knee in 90° flexion and their thighs fixated to the treatment table with a strap. Another strap was used around the leg of the treatment table and the HHD, which was placed on the anterior side of the partic- ipants’ distal tibia. The participants were asked to extend their knee with maximal effort. Isometric knee flexion torque was tested with the par- ticipants laying on their stomach on a treatment table with their knee in 90° flexion. The examiner was sitting on the end of the table with a strap around the pelvis and around the HHD placed on the posterior side of the participants’ distal tibia. The pelvis and the leg that was not being tested ...

STUDY CONTEXT. Although access to improved drinking water in Haiti has improved dramatically since 1995 with over 21% of the population gaining access in 15 years (Joint Monitoring Program, 2012), almost 35% of Haitians still lack access to an improved drinking water source(Institut Xxxxxxx xx x'Xxxxxxx & XXXXXXX XXX, 0000). This lack of access to improved drinking water is compounded by the fact that over 75% of lack improved sanitation(Institut Xxxxxxx xx x'Xxxxxxx & XXXXXXX XXX, 0000). In the United Nation’s (UN) Final Report of the Independent Panel of Experts on the Cholera Outbreak in Haiti , issues surrounding lack of improved water and sanitation were key factors in the rapid spread of the cholera epidemic across Haiti (Lantagne, Cravioto, Lanata, & Nair, n.d.) which in a conservative estimate was responsible for the deaths of about 8,000 individuals between October 2010 and January 2013(Ministére de la Santé Publique et de la Population [MSPP], 2013). In Haiti, as in many other developing countries, household water treatment interventions have become increasingly incorporated into public health response to issues regarding access to safe water both in emergency situations and as midterm solution for areas that are unlikely to have improvements in public water infrastructure in the near future. Many household water treatment technologies exist, but the Centers for Disease Control has widely promoted the Safe Water System (SWS) an intervention with three components: (1) a locally produced sodium- hypochlorite (chlorine) water treatment solution and (2) a safe water storage container (3) behavior change education and communications (Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxx, 2008).
