چکیده مقاله:

Background & Aims: Knee joint is a complex structure and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear is one of the most common injuries of it. Anterior cruciate ligament, because of its proprioceptive function, has an important role in balance control and its tearing may tend to balance control deficiency. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of functional brace on the balance in patients with anterior cruciate ligament rupture. Method: In this quasi-experimental study, 20 patients with anterior cruciate ligament tear, with the age of 18 to 44 years, were recruited. Patients were selected by simple sampling method. Force plate was used for testing the postural balance, as a dependent variable. Data were analyzed using paired-t and chi-square tests. Results: The velocity of center of pressure in x and y directions was not statistically significant comparing the bracing position with bare feet. The difference between pre and post orthotic intervention testing of displacement was not statistically significant in with/without brace position (P>0.05). Conclusion: According to the results, it seems that the functional brace is not effective in improvement of postural balance in patients with anterior cruciate ligament tear

Anterior cruciate ligament functional brace use in sports.

The routine use of functional knee braces in the anterior cruciate ligament-deficient, injured, or reconstructed knee, lacks biomechanical support. Although subjective reports favoring bracing are plentiful, objective proof of significant control of tibial translation is not. This in vivo study was designed to assess the effect of six popular braces on anterior tibial translation, isokinetic pe...

Responsiveness of Static and Dynamic Postural Balance Measures in Patients with Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Following Physiotherapy Intervention

Background:The main goal of physiotherapy for patients with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACL-R) is to improve postural control and retain knee function. Therefore, clinicians need to use evaluative tools that assess postural changes during physiotherapy. To maximize the clinical utility of the results of these tools, the extracted measures should have appropriate psychometric prop...

Partial tearing of the anterior cruciate ligament: diagnosis and treatment

Partial tears of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) are common and represent 10-27% of the total. The main reasons for attending to cases of non-torn bundles are biomechanical, vascular and proprioceptive. Continued presence of the bundle also serves as protection during the healing process. There is controversy regarding the definition of these injuries, which is based on anatomy, clinical e...
