ACLRO: An Ontology for the Best Practice in ACLR Rehabilitation
… with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) as a case study. The ontology represents knowledge derived from both evidence-based practice (EBP) and practice-based evidence (PBE). First, the study presents how the domain-specific knowledge model is built using a combination of Toronto …

Factors Affecting Anterior Knee Pain in Post-ACLR Comparing Patellar Tendon and Hamstring Tendon Autografts
… anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Data were gathered from existing patient data from rehabilitation therapy records. Additional factors were also analyzed to determine the effect on post-ACLR pain. Post-treatment pain ratings measured by the Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) …

Differences in Movement and Loading Variability Between ACLR and Healthy Athletes During Bilateral and Unilateral Landings
… a difficult road with reconstruction surgery (ACLR) and months of rehabilitation. Specifically, females are at a greater risk of both primary and secondary ACL injuries compared to males. The purpose of this research was to understand the differences in movement and loading variability between …

Evaluating Stretch-Shortening Cycle Function in Athletes After ACL Reconstruction Using a Repeat Hop Test
… anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). The first study compared three methods for estimating landing velocity during RHT kinetic analysis against traditional temporal methods such as flight time. The results demonstrated that kinetic outcomes were highly sensitive to the method …

The outcome from anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in an adult male population from United Arab of Emirates
… and anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) at three and six months postoperatively especially on an adult male population from the United Arab of Emirates (UAE). Further, there were no studies that examined the relative and absolute reliability for these outcome measures in ACLR …

Functional tasks before and after an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction : are there mechanical differences?
… minimal, visible impairment. ACL reconstruction (ACLR) is the most common form of treatment for physically active individuals following an ACL injury. The aim of most individuals is to return to preinjury levels of physical activity after ACLR. However, most individuals experience persistent …

The Effect of Biofeedback on Eccentric Knee Joint Power, Limb Stiffness, and Limb Stiffness Symmetry in ACLR Patients During Bilateral Landing
… (RTS), and therefore undergo ACL reconstruction (ACLR). These athletes exhibit unfavorable landing biomechanics from muscle atrophy and asymmetrical neuromuscular control post-ACLR, putting them at a higher risk of re-injury. Thus, rehabilitation following ACLR is important to improve kinetic and …

Joint Coordination Variability In Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstructed Subjects During Stair Ambulation Using a Vector Coding Technique
… detecting differences between ACL reconstructed (ACLR) subjects and healthy control subjects. Specifically, altered joint coordination variability has been linked to lower extremity instability, which may indicate re-injury risk. </p> <p>The aim of this study was to assess joint coordination and …

Understanding the Impact of ACL Reconstruction on Normalization Methods and Identifying Predictive Factors of Landing Symmetry
… and risk in patients with ACL reconstruction (ACLR)19–22. While there are ample amounts of research investigating this injury, there are gaps within the literature that need to be addressed to continue to better understand ACL injuries. When analyzing data from patients with ACLR, there are …

Quantifying Joint Coordination Variability in Anterior Cruciate Ligament-Reconstructed Individuals During Walking
… alone, and about 100,000 ACL reconstruction (ACLR) surgeries are performed annually. There is a significant risk of developing osteoarthritis of the knee after incurring an ACL injury, and the incidence of ipsilateral or contralateral injury is six times greater in individuals who have a …

Functional recovery at discharge from rehabilitation following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction
… to return to sport (RTS). Success following ACLR has been defined as a return to pre-injury or healthy levels of function and activity. Therefore, outcomes should be assessed according to this standard. The aim of this thesis is to investigate single-leg hop for distance, isometric muscle …

Neuromuscular Consequences Following Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction
… if anterior cruciate ligament reconstructed (ACLr) participantspresent with alterations in corticomotor excitability, spinal-reflexive excitability, and voluntary activation in the quadriceps of their injured limb compared to their uninjured limb as well as matched limbs of healthy matched …

Inverse Dynamic Analysis of ACL Reconstructed Knee Joint Biomechanics During Gait and Cycling Using OpenSim
… There are multiple types of ACL reconstruction (ACLR), but all types aim to restore anterior tibial translation and internal tibial rotation following surgery. Analyzing knee joint contact loads provide insight into the loading conditions following ACLR that may contribute to the long-term …

Quadriceps Avoidance Characteristics of Persons with a Reconstructed Anterior Cruciate Ligament during a Forward Lunge
… the quadriceps avoidance characteristics of an ACLR group during four phases of a forward lunge by comparing them to the same characteristics of a healthy control group and the uninvolved group. Nineteen participants (13 healthy control, 6 ACLR) were recruited for this study. Reflective motion …

Biomechanical evaluation of landing maneuvers in soccer players with an anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction
… performance between soccer players with an ACLR and healthy non-injured soccer players during planned and unplanned landing maneuvers. The results showed that unplanned landing demonstrated greater injury predisposing factors compared with planned landing by exhibiting a stiff landing …

Does Psychological Readiness Affect Jump Biomechanics Across the Continuum of Care Following Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction?
… after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) at the time of return to sport testing and 6 weeks after returning to sport. The first aim of the study was to examine whether the level of psychological readiness would affect biomechanics of double–leg drop jump versus single–leg vertical …

In vivo Knee Kinematics and Cartilage Recovery of Noncontact Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries
… validated and applied on ACL reconstructed (ACLR) subjects. Then, their cartilage strains and recovery times were calculated, which showed that the ACLR subjects had significantly higher strains and a much longer recovery time, suggesting that ACLR subjects’ cartilage are softer and less able …

Factors that influence the performance of hop tests
… and anterior cruciate ligament reconstructed (ACLR) participants during common screening tasks.This thesis includes four themed studies. The first study aimed to investigate the reliability of the individual tests which consist of hop tests, two-dimensional (2-D) Frontal-Plane Projection Angle …

The Impact of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction, Sex, and Sport-specific, Game-like Factors on Limb Stiffness and Limb Stiffness Asymmetry during Landing
… and athletes with a previous ACL reconstruction (ACLR) are at greater risk of suffering an ACL injury, with altered biomechanical strategies being one proposed reason. Asymmetric landings where one limb experiences greater landing force can decrease joint stability and place the overloaded limb at …
