Résumé : |
Objective Even some time after a ruptured ACL has been reconstructed thigh musculature atrophy, voluntary activation, and knee-extensor strength deficits may be encountered. The purpose of this study was to evaluate bilateral knee-extension strength, voluntary activation of the quadriceps, and thigh circumference in males and females with ACL reconstruction (ACLR). Design and participants Within-subject and between-subject designs were used to evaluate 24 unilateral ACLR individuals and 23 controls. Main outcome measures Isokinetic knee-extension strength was assessed in ACLR participants while central activation ratio (CAR) and thigh circumference measures were obtained from both groups. Results Knee-extensor strength deficits (p Conclusion Clinicians should consider the deficits in muscle function when returning patients to pre-injury activity levels. |
