We will discuss the mechanisms by which dynamic knee stability may be achieved and
relate this to issues that interest clinicians and scientists concerned with dynamic knee …

The neuromuscular consequences of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury are important
considerations because these deficits play a crucial role in a patient's recovery following …

Objective: To discuss the role of proprioception in motor control and in activation of the
dynamic restraints for functional joint stability. Data Sources: Information was drawn from an …

It is important to examine the functional relationships between commonly performed clinical
tests and to resolve inconsistencies in previous investigative results. The purpose of this …

A cadaveric model that incorporated quadriceps and hamstrings muscle loads was
developed to simulate the squat exercise. The addition of hamstrings load affected knee …

Single-leg hops are used clinically to assess knee function in patients following anterior
cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture and reconstruction. Researchers study ACL-deficient …

Background The ankle joint requires very precise neuromuscular control during the
transition from terminal swing to the early stance phase of the gait cycle. Altered ankle joint …

Abstract Background and Purpose. Treatment techniques involving perturbations of support
surfaces may induce compensatory muscle activity that could improve knee stability and …

Failure of conservative treatment is the usual indication for the reconstruction of a knee with
deficiency of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and this depends on subjective judgement …

The purpose of this article is to survey current knowledge concerning the consequences of a
ligament injury on neuromuscular function and its relevance to rehabilitation, in relation to …
