Background There is no consensus regarding the optimal rehabilitation regimen for
increasing quadriceps strength after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. Hypothesis A …

The objective was to analyze muscle activity and movement patterns during landing of a
single leg hop for distance after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Nine (six …

Background: Evidence that knee braces used for the treatment of osteoarthritis mediate pain
relief and improve function by unloading the joint (increasing the joint separation) remains …

The morphology (volume and peak cross-sectional area) and voluntary muscle control of 27
athletic people were evaluated with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and an established …

This paper describes a plausible mechanism for the development of brain plastic changes
due to a peripheral joint injury, such as anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture. Evidence …

Objective: To identify intrinsic predictors of lateral ankle sprain. Design: Prospective cohort
study. Setting: A performing arts secondary school and a dance school. Participants: One …

Persistent quadriceps muscle weakness is common after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)
reconstruction. The mechanisms underlying these chronic strength deficits are not clear …

Background Closed kinetic chain exercises such as single-limb squats are preferred for
knee rehabilitation. A complete understanding of the neuromuscular control of the knee …

Purpose The function of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) patients' non-injured leg is
relevant in light of the high incidence of secondary ACL injuries on the contralateral side …

Lumbopelvic joint manipulation has been shown to increase quadriceps force output and
activation, but the duration of effect is unknown. It is also unknown whether lower grade joint …
