Background: Persistent quadriceps weakness and activation failure are common in
individuals with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. A growing body of evidence …

Background: Operant conditioning of motor evoked torque (MEPTORQUE) can directly
target the corticospinal pathway in patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) …

Background Differences in the excitability of motor generating neural pathways are reported
following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) that is associated with quadriceps …

Neuromuscular impairments, such as quadriceps weakness and activation deficits, persist
after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Recent research demonstrating …

Background Altered quadriceps corticomotor excitability has been demonstrated following
anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and reconstruction, however only the single joint vasti …

Context: Quadriceps-activation deficits have been reported after meniscectomy. Transcranial
magnetic stimulation (TMS) in conjunction with maximal contractions affects quadriceps …

This study comprehensively evaluated the test–retest reliability of raw and normalized
quadriceps motor evoked responses elicited by transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in …

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) ruptures result in lasting quadriceps dysfunction that
contributes to secondary injury risk and development of osteoarthritis. There is evidence of …

Background Persistent quadriceps weakness is common following anterior cruciate ligament
reconstruction (ACLr). Alterations in spinal-reflexive excitability, corticospinal excitability and …

Quadriceps muscle dysfunction is common following anterior cruciate ligament
reconstruction (ACLR). Data considering the diversity of neural changes, in-concert with …
