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

Despite increased knowledge on anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury mechanisms,
improved surgical techniques, improved understanding of ACL biomechanics and enhanced …

Background: Performance measures such as strength, jump height/length, and change of
direction (CoD) time during anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rehabilitation have been used …

The prevalence of inter-limb strength differences is well documented in the literature
however, there are inconsistencies related to measurement and reporting, and the …

Background: Athletes are twice as likely to rupture the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) on
their healthy contralateral knee than the reconstructed graft after ACL reconstruction (ACLR) …

Injuries have a detrimental impact on team and individual athletic performance. Deficits in
maximal strength, rate of force development (RFD), and reactive strength are commonly …

Objective To synthesize and present reference values for quadriceps and hamstrings
strength tests in healthy athletes who play pivoting sports and in athletes with anterior …

Background: Residual between-limb deficits are a possible contributing factor to poor
outcomes in athletic populations after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) …

Single-joint isometric and isokinetic knee strength assessment plays an important role in
strength and conditioning, physical therapy, and rehabilitation. The literature, however, lacks …

Objective Vertical jump tests are more sensitive in revealing asymmetries in performance
