Context: Quadriceps function is a significant contributor to knee joint health that is influenced
by central and peripheral factors, especially after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction …

Arthrogenic muscle inhibition (AMI) is a common impairment in individuals who sustain an
anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. The AMI causes decreased muscle activation, which …

Ultrasound (US) imaging has been widely used in both research and clinical settings to
evaluate the morphological and mechanical properties of muscle and tendon. In elite sports …

Quadriceps muscle dysfunction is common following anterior cruciate ligament
reconstruction (ACLR). Data considering the diversity of neural changes, in-concert with …

Context: Distinct from the muscle atrophy that develops from inactivity or disuse, atrophy that
occurs after traumatic joint injury continues despite the patient being actively engaged in …

Background Hamstrings neuromuscular function is a crucial component of functional
movement, and changes after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury contribute to risk …

We investigated the validity of panoramic ultrasound (US) compared to magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI) for the assessment of hamstrings cross-sectional area (CSA) and volume …

Background: Quadriceps tendon (QT) autografts are being increasingly used for anterior
cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). A paucity of studies exist that compare QT …

Image‐based assessments of quadriceps muscle size facilitate examination of structural
changes after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and reconstruction (ACLR) …

Background Lower extremity movement asymmetries may lead to re-injury and knee
osteoarthritis after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery. However, there is …
