Altered lower extremity biomechanics following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction during single-leg and double-leg stop-jump tasks: A bilateral total support moment analysis.

Journal Article Clin Biomech (Bristol, Avon) · January 2022 BACKGROUND: Injury to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) can lead to long-lasting biomechanical alterations that put individuals at risk of a second ACL injury. Examining the total support moment may reveal between- and within-limb compensatory strategie ... Full text Link to item Cite

Females have Lower Knee Strength and Vertical Ground Reaction Forces During Landing than Males Following Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction at the Time of Return to Sport.

Journal Article Int J Sports Phys Ther · 2022 PURPOSE: There is a high rate of second anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury (ipsilateral graft or contralateral ACL) upon return-to-sport (RTS) following ACL reconstruction (ACLR). While a significant amount of epidemiological data exists demonstrating ... Open Access Link to item Cite

Isometric Knee Strength is Greater in Individuals Who Score Higher on Psychological Readiness to Return to Sport After Primary Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction.

Journal Article Int J Sports Phys Ther · 2022 BACKGROUND: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is extremely common among athletes. Rate of second ACL injury due to surgical graft rupture or contralateral limb ACL injury is approximately 15-32%. Psychological readiness to return to sport (RTS) may b ...

Heart rate response does not differ between pitch types in college baseball pitchers

Journal Article International Journal of Performance Analysis in Sport · September 3, 2017 Fatigue has been observed to effect pitching velocity, performance and pain. Pitch counts are a sub-optimal substitute to quantify pitching physiologic stress. Heart rate (HR) response is conducive to quantify physiologic stress. Currently, there is a pauc ... Full text Cite

Surgical Management and Treatment of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament-Deficient Knee with Malalignment.

Journal Article Clin Sports Med · January 2017 Varus malalignment and an increased tibial slope can result in instability in an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)-deficient knee. Malalignment can also be a cause of recurrent instability following ACL reconstruction. Varus malalignment can contribute to l ... Full text Link to item Cite

Proprioception of the knee before and after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.

Journal Article Arthroscopy · January 2003 PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to determine, first, if there is measurable deficit in proprioception in an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)-deficient knee, either compared to the contralateral knee or external controls; second, if this deficit, if ...
