Background Underlying neural factors contribute to poor outcomes following anterior
cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Neurophysiological adaptations have been …

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

The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate differences in quadriceps corticospinal
excitability, spinal‐reflexive excitability, strength, and voluntary activation before, 2 weeks …

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

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

Impaired corticomotor function arising from altered intracortical and corticospinal pathways
are theorized to impede muscle recovery following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) surgery …

Objective To examine the effect of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction on spinal-
reflex and corticospinal excitability of the quadriceps muscle. Methods A comprehensive …

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 Corticospinal adaptations have been observed following anterior cruciate
ligament reconstruction around the time of returning to activity. These measures have been …

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