The neuroplastic effects of anterior cruciate ligament injury have recently become more
evident, demonstrating underlying nervous system changes in addition to the expected …

The purpose of this article is to survey current knowledge concerning the consequences of a
ligament injury on neuromuscular function and its relevance to rehabilitation, in relation to …

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

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine, first, if there is measurable deficit in
proprioception in an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)-deficient knee, either compared to the …

Several tests of human conscious knee proprioception have been described, but there is no
consensus or reference standard established. Difficulties remain in the separation of …

We prospectively studied knee proprioception following ACL reconstruction in 40 patients
(34 men and six women; mean age 31years). The patients were allocated into two equal …

There are many indications of defects in motor control being part of the aetiopathogenesis of
degenerative joint diseases. Measurement of proprioceptive functions may increase our …

Objective To establish the clinical relevance of proprioceptive deficits reported after anterior
cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. Material and methods A literature search was done in …

Background It has been shown previously that an anterior cruciate ligament injury may affect
postural control, measured by balance in single-limb stance. To our knowledge, no studies …

Background: Because of a reduction in the number of mechanoreceptors or alterations of
their characteristics, anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears lead not only to mechanical …
