The Influence of Quadriceps Rate of Torque Development and Arthrogenic Muscle Inhibition on Knee Landing Mechanics during Different Landing Tasks in ACL Reconstructed Females

Creator:

Huang, Yu-Lun

Abstract:

Lesser quadriceps explosive strength following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR) may result in the use of altered landing mechanics that increase the risk for a second ACL injury. Reduced capacity to produce explosive strength in the quadriceps is potentially driven, at least in part, by quadriceps arthrogenic muscle inhibition...

Effects of decision making on landing neuromechanics as a function of task and sex

Creator:

Mache, Melissa A

Abstract:

Although the incidence of non-contact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries is greater among women than men athletes, the factors that contribute to this greater risk of injury are not well understood. One relevant question is whether decision making during landing influences the biomechanical and neuromuscular factors thought to contribute to...
