Clinically feasible methods for quantifying landing kinetics could help identify patients at risk secondary anterior cruciate ligament injuries. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the validity and between-day repeatability loadsol insole during a single-hop bilateral stop-jump. Thirty healthy recreational athletes completed seven single-hops stop-jumps while simultaneous (100 Hz) force plate (1920 measurements were recorded. Peak impact force, loading rate, impulse computed dominant...
Hop tests are widely used to quantify recovery from anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) surgery. However, there is evidence that simply measuring hop distance may not be indicative of the quality movement or representative potential limitations in hopping mechanics, particularly during landing. The first purpose present study was compare and loading symmetry between ACLR athletes healthy uninjured recreational athletes. second determine association symmetry.Twenty-five patients...
Background: Proper lower extremity biomechanics during bilateral landing is important for reducing injury risk in athletes returning to sports after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Although a quick ballistic movement that difficult modify, squatting slower cyclic ideal motor learning. Hypothesis: There relationship between and patients with an ACLR. Study Design: Descriptive laboratory study. Methods: A total of 41 unilateral ACLR (24 men, 17 women; 5.9 ± 1.4 months ACLR)...
ABSTRACT Purposes The goals of this work were to 1) determine the relationship between psychological readiness for return sport and side-to-side symmetry during jump-landing in patients recovering from anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) 2) whether sport, graft type, meniscal pathology, sex, time since surgery could predict landing ACLR patients. Methods Thirty-eight primary unilateral (22 men/16 women; 19 patellar tendon autograft/19 hamstring autograft; age: 16.3 ± 1.9 yr;...
Landing biomechanics provide important information pertaining to second anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury risk in patients following ACL reconstruction (ACLR). While traditional motion analysis technologies are often impractical for use non-laboratory settings, methods assess landing which inexpensive, portable, and user-friendly have recently been developed validated. The purpose of this study was compare kinematics kinetics between ACLR uninjured controls a setting. Sixteen (7 male/9...
Nearly 1 in 60 adolescent athletes will suffer anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries with 90% of these electing to undergo an ACL reconstruction (ACLR) at estimated annual cost $3 billion. While ACLR and subsequent rehabilitation allow return sports, they have a 15-fold increased risk second injuries. The modification post-operative improve movement loading symmetry using visual tactile biofeedback could decrease the factors for sustaining injury. Participants included 40 patients who...
Athletes who return to sport (RTS) after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) often have reduced physical performance and a high reinjury rate. Additionally, it is currently unclear how measures can change during the RTS transition with use of functional knee brace.The purpose this study was examine effects time since surgery (at 3 months RTS) wearing brace on in patients undergone ACLR. We hypothesized that would improve not be affected by condition.Controlled laboratory study.A...
Complex movement pathologies that are biopsychosocial in nature (eg, back pain) require a multidimensional approach for effective treatment. Virtual reality is promising tool rehabilitation, where therapeutic interventions can be gamified to promote and train specific behaviors while increasing enjoyment, engagement, retention. We have previously created virtual reality-based tools assess lumbar excursion during reaching functional gameplay tasks by manipulating the position of static...
