Knee Kinematics in Acl Reconstructed Bilateral Squat
نویسندگان
چکیده
INTRODUCTION Knee motions are determined by the interaction between active and passive constraints of the joint and forces acting on the joint. Changes in knee kinematics, kinetics, and muscle function are found with ACL injury, specifically, changes in the anterior-posterior (AP) translation and internal-external (IE) rotation of the knee leading to buckling or giving way [1,2]. ACL repair is performed to restore the knee to its normal function, however, the altered kinematic, kinetic, and muscle function may not be completely restored. We hypothesize that knee kinematics may not be restored to normal after ACL reconstruction.

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 ...
متن کاملIn Vivo Kinematics of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament Deficient Knee During Wide-Based Squat Using a 2D/3D Registration Technique.
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) deficiency increases the risk of early osteoarthritis (OA). Studies of ACL deficient knee kinematics would be important to reveal the disease process and therefore to find mechanisms which would potentially slow OA progression. The purpose of this study was to determine if in vivo kinematics of the anterior cruciate ligament deficient (ACLD) knee during a wide-b...
متن کاملDynamic function of the ACL-reconstructed knee during running.
Little is known about the three-dimensional behavior of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstructed knee during dynamic, functional loading, or how dynamic knee function changes over time in the reconstructed knee. We hypothesized dynamic, in vivo function of the ACL-reconstructed knee is different from the contralateral, uninjured knee and changes over time. We measured knee kinematics ...
متن کاملLimb symmetry during double-leg squats and single-leg squats on land and in water in adults with long-standing unilateral anterior knee pain; a cross sectional study
Background The presence of pain during movement typically results in changes in technique. However, the physical properties of water, such as flotation, means that water-based exercise may not only reduce compensatory movement patterns but also allow pain sufferers to complete exercises that they are unable to perform on land. The purpose of this study was to assess bilateral kinematics during ...
متن کاملSimulation of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Deficiency in a Musculoskeletal Model with Anatomical Knees
Abnormal knee kinematics and meniscus injury resulting from anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) deficiency are often implicated in joint degeneration even though changes in tibio-femoral contact location after injury are small, typically only a few millimeters. Ligament reconstruction surgery does not significantly reduce the incidence of early onset osteoarthritis. Increased knowledge of knee con...
