Persistent quadriceps muscle weakness is common after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)
reconstruction. The mechanisms underlying these chronic strength deficits are not clear …

Background Despite the high prevalence of residual quadriceps muscle weakness after
anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, specific predictive factors have not been identified …

Background: Quadriceps tendon (QT) autografts are being increasingly used for anterior
cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). A paucity of studies exist that compare QT …

Purpose Cross-education reduces quadriceps weakness 8 weeks after anterior cruciate
ligament (ACL) surgery, but the long-term effects are unknown. We investigated whether …

Background Despite surgical reconstruction and extensive rehabilitation, persistent
quadriceps inhibition, gait asymmetry, and functional impairment remain prevalent in …

Purpose To determine the most effective practices for quadriceps strengthening after ACL
reconstruction. Methods An electronic search has been performed for the literature …

The loss of full muscle activation contributes to weakness of the quadriceps muscle in
patients with deficiency of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). We examined whether a …

Study Design Prospective, observational study. Objectives To document changes in surface
electromyographic activity during sustained maximum quadriceps contractions in patients …

Study Design Randomized clinical trial, single-masked. Objectives To determine the
effectiveness of using a modified neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) training …

The persistence of quadriceps weakness represents a major concern following anterior
cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). The underlying adaptations occurring in the activity …
