CORRELATION BETWEEN ECCENTRIC TRAINING AND FUNCTIONAL TESTS IN SUBJECTS WITH RECONSTRUCTED ACL

The effects of knee extensor eccentric training on functional tests in healthy subjects.

BACKGROUND It is well known that eccentric training increases muscle strength and promotes greater neural activation, and therefore has been used in the recovery of knee extensors. The hypothesis of this study was that there would be a strong correlation between knee extensor torque and functional tests. OBJECTIVES To investigate the relationship between knee extensor peak torque and function...

How does functionality proceed in ACL reconstructed subjects? Proceeding of functional performance from pre- to six months post-ACL reconstruction

This is the first study examining functionality of subjects with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears and a subsequent reconstruction comprehensively by multiple test sessions from pre- to six months post-reconstruction. The purpose was to evaluate if a generally applied rehabilitation program restores functionality to levels of healthy controls. Subjects with unilateral tears of the ACL were...

Correlation between Different Patterns of Hypo-Osmotic Swelling and Sperm Functional Tests

Protective Hip and Knee Kinematics during Unilateral and Bilateral Landings after Neuromuscular Training in Acl-reconstructed Subjects

INTRODUCTION Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury leads to significant reductions in patient function, and biomechanical asymmetries that frequently persist for two years or longer after ACL-reconstruction. [1] Recent reports indicate that as many as one in four ACL-reconstructed patients will suffer a second ACL injury to either the affected or contralateral limb within their first year of ...
