Abstract After anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR), there is a higher re‐injury rate to the contralateral limb in athletes who undergo surgery using bone‐patellar‐tendon‐bone (BPTB) autograft than semitendinosus and gracilis hamstring tendon (HT) autograft. This may be influenced by differing lower‐limb loading asymmetries present when of each graft type return play (RTP). The aim this study was compare bilateral countermovement jump (CMJ) phase‐specific impulse between with...
Later-stage rehabilitation following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR) provides a valuable opportunity to target performance deficits before return sport. This study aimed to: (1) evaluate bilateral counter-movement jump (CMJ) phase-specific impulse and isokinetic strength inter-limb asymmetry progression from 6 9 months post-ACLR; (2) examine the extent which individual changes in could explain asymmetry. Male athletes (n = 44) with hamstring tendon or bone-patellar...
Nine months after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, athletes who undergo surgery using a bone-patellar-tendon-bone (BPTB) autograft demonstrate higher loading asymmetries during vertical jumping than those with hamstring tendon (HT) autograft. These may transfer into sporting movements greater ACL injury risk. The aim of this study was to compare between-limb in knee mechanics and task performance an unplanned 90° change-of-direction (CoD) male field sport reconstructed BPTB...
BACKGROUND: Adolescent females are particularly susceptible to suffering anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries, likely influenced by well-established maturational changes. This study investigated ACL biomechanical injury risk factors and their association with biological maturation in females.METHODS: Thirty-five adolescent (15±1 year) completed a series of maximum-effort 90° unanticipated cutting maneuvers. Established (including external knee abduction moments, abduction, hip flexion,...
