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

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

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

Background Evidence indicates the presence of both kinesiophobia and knee extension
strength deficits in women with patellofemoral pain (PFP). Both impairments may contribute …

Objective To evaluate if a single blood flow restriction (BFR)-exercise bout would induce
hypoalgaesia in patients with anterior knee pain (AKP) and allow painless application of …

Objective To compare the efficacy of posterolateral hip muscle strengthening versus
quadriceps strengthening in reducing pain and improving health status in persons with …

Objective Patellar taping is frequently used to treat patellofemoral pain (PFP). This
systematic review and meta-analysis (1) evaluates the efficacy of patellar taping for patients …

In addition to biomechanical disturbances, peripheral joint injuries (PJIs) can also result in
chronic neuromuscular alterations due in part to loss of mechanoreceptor‐mediated afferent …

Muscle strength, the maximal force-generating capacity of a muscle or group of muscles, is
regularly assessed in physiological experiments and clinical trials. An understanding of the …

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