Background Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury has multifactorial causes encompassing
mechanical, hormonal, exposure, and anatomical factors. Alterations in the central nervous …

Study Design Controlled laboratory study. Background Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)
injury may result in neuroplastic changes due to lost mechanoreceptors of the ACL and …

Background Neuromuscular deficits are common following knee injuries and may contribute
to early-onset post-traumatic osteoarthritis, likely mediated through quadriceps dysfunction …

Objectives: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture is a common knee injury among
athletes and physically active adults. Despite surgical reconstruction and extensive …

Purpose The function of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) patients' non-injured leg is
relevant in light of the high incidence of secondary ACL injuries on the contralateral side …

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

Purpose Cortical mechanisms may contribute to weakness in participants with previous
hamstring strain injury. This study aims to examine intra-cortical inhibition (SICI) and …

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

Persistent quadriceps weakness is a problematic sequela of anterior cruciate ligament
reconstruction (ACLR). The purposes of this review are to summarize neuroplastic changes …

Context: In athletes, postural control impairment and knee muscle dysfunction are the most
common disorders following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. Because of functional …
