Neuromuscular Consequences Following Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction
Objective: Determine 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 …

Functional recovery at discharge from rehabilitation following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction
… this context. 35 patients who had undergone ACL reconstruction were recruited to translate and culturally adapt the IKDC and ACL-RSI to make them suitable for Arabic speaking patients with ACL injuries. 255 healthy active male participants in three age categories (18-24; 25-34 and 35-44 years) …

Biomechanical evaluation of landing maneuvers in soccer players with an anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction
This dissertation is composed of 3 studies. The first study included the following purposes 1) to evaluate within-session reliability of kinematics and kinetics during 2 landing tasks to determine the number of trials needed to achieve acceptable reliability, 2) to determine between-session …

Does Psychological Readiness Affect Jump Biomechanics Across the Continuum of Care Following Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction?
… to sport on jump–landing biomechanics 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 …

The outcome from anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in an adult male population from United Arab of Emirates
… limited studies utilising multiple tests for the anterior cruciate ligament deficient knee (ACLD) 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 …

Eccentric cycling rehabilitation after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: a randomised controlled trial of strength and biomechanical outcomes
After anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACL-R), persistent strength and biomechanical deviations remain. Reducing these by training may reduce risk of re-injury or osteoarthritis for these patients. A cross-sectional study investigated biomechanics of ACL-R male patients long-term (~5 …

Development and Validation of Clinically Feasible Methods to Assess Landing Mechanics in Patients Following Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction
Patients returning to sport after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery currently have a high risk for sustaining a second ACL injury and having early signs of knee osteoarthritis. Assessing lower extremity kinetics and kinematics during landing can provide information about a …

Evaluation of Graft Pretension Effects in Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: A Series of In Vitro and In Vivo Experiments
… was to study the effects of graft pretension in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction through a series of experiments. First, an in vitro study of 5 human knees was conducted to determine if intact joint kinematics could be restored when using the ideal graft - the intrinsic ACL. The …

The Impact of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction, Sex, and Sport-specific, Game-like Factors on Limb Stiffness and Limb Stiffness Asymmetry during Landing
… movements like landing from a jump. Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are especially devastating, and certain populations like female athletes and athletes with a previous ACL reconstruction (ACLR) are at greater risk of suffering an ACL injury, with altered biomechanical …

Factors Affecting Anterior Knee Pain in Post-ACLR Comparing Patellar Tendon and Hamstring Tendon Autografts
<p>Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are frequent athletic and non-athletic injuries that impact a person's functional and athletic capability. ACL injuries generally require surgical reconstruction. The most popular graft types include patellar tendon (PT) and hamstring tendon (HT) …

Validation of Running Symmetry Using Trunk Mounted Accelerometry: Clinical Trial and Case Study
… a lower leg injury and during rehabilitation of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery. The results of this study show that the HPUSPI units can be reliably used to monitor running symmetry and to detect asymmetrical gait patterns.

Η αξία του ημιτενοντώδους στις παραμελημένες ρήξεις του πρόσθιου χιαστού συνδέσμου: Αρθροσκοπικός και ιστολογικός έλεγχος
The chronic instability of the knee due to an anterior cruciate ligament defficiency was reconstructed in 32 cases, between 1985-1989, using the tendons of semitendinosus and gracilis muscles. The Semitendinosus tendon was used in 25 patients. In 5 patients, apart from the semitendinosus tendon, …

Evaluating Stretch-Shortening Cycle Function in Athletes After ACL Reconstruction Using a Repeat Hop Test
… force-time asymmetry in athletes following 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 …

ACLRO: An Ontology for the Best Practice in ACLR Rehabilitation
… for the best practice in healthcare, 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 …

Outcome measurement in articular cartilage repair: exploring the patient perspective
… for people who had undergone ACR, more than an anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) cohort from the same OHC knee population. This work led to the formulation of a further research question: what is the postoperative physical activity profile of this OHC ACR population? The Tegner …
