Purpose Persistent voluntary quadriceps activation deficits are common after anterior
cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR), but the direct causes are unclear. The primary …

Arthrogenic muscle inhibition, an inability to fully activate the quadriceps muscles, has been
persistently observed after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLr) surgery …

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

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

Purpose Quadriceps weakness is common after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction
(ACLR). Limited neuromuscular activation may have a role in the weakness. The purpose of …

Objective To investigate corticospinal and spinal reflexive excitability and quadriceps
strength in healthy athletes and athletes after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction …

Quadriceps dysfunction persists after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR), yet
the etiology remains elusive. Inhibitory and facilitatory intracortical networks (ie, intracortical …

Background Accurate quantification of voluntary activation is important for understanding the
extent of quadriceps dysfunction in individuals with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction …

Context Neuromuscular dysfunction is common after anterior cruciate ligament
reconstruction (ACL-R). However, little is known about quadriceps spinal-reflex and …

Context: Arthrogenic muscle inhibition is an important underlying factor in persistent
quadriceps muscle weakness after knee injury or surgery. Objective: To determine the …
