Effect of functional bracing, quadficeps and h strings on anterior tibial translation in anterior cmciate ligament insufficiency: A preliminary study
نویسنده
چکیده
Anterior tibial translation was measured in six patients with anterior cruciate ligament insufficiency. The tests were done in 15,45, and 90 degrees of knee flexion, partly with activated quadriceps or hamstrings, and partly with subjects wearing a 4-point functional DonJoy brace. The translation was evaluated with a computerized electrogoniometer (Acufex KSS). The anterior tibial translation was significantly reduced by use of the hamstrings in all three degrees of knee flexion. The effect of the 4-point brace was only significant in 15 and 45 degrees of flexion. The quadriceps did not reduce the anterior tibial translation.

متن کاملFluoroscopic analysis of anterior tibial translation during eccentric and concentric phase of knee rehabilitation exercises in men with anterior cruciate ligament injury
Background: The amount of anterior tibial translation during rehabilitation exercises is a key factor in organizing exercise regimen after anterior cruciate ligament injury. Excessive anterior tibial translation could increase the magnitude of tension imposed on injured and reconstructed anterior cruciate ligament knees. Forward lunge and open-kinetic knee extension exercises are commonly used ...
متن کاملAnterior 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...
متن کاملEffect of Custom Molded Functional Brace on Balance in Patients with Anterior Cruciate Ligament Tearing
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 p...
متن کاملFluoroscopic Analysis of Tibial Translation in Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injured Knees With and Without Bracing During Forward Lunge
BACKGROUND Despite several studies with different methods, the effect of functional knee braces on knee joint kinematics is not clear. Direct visualization of joint components through medical imaging modalities may provide the clinicians with more useful information. OBJECTIVES In this study, for the first time in the literature, video fluoroscopy was used to investigate the effect of knee br...
