Early Neuromuscular and Co-activation Patterns After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction In Males: A Case-control Exploratory Feasibility Study
Listen to this summary
This study aimed to compare early quadriceps activation and hamstring co-activation patterns between males who underwent anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) and matched healthy controls. The findings revealed that individuals post-ACLR exhibited significantly lower quadriceps activation and increased hamstring co-activation bilaterally, affecting both the operated and non-operated limbs. This suggests that early neuromuscular alterations following ACLR may hinder recovery and rehabilitation outcomes.
