Creator:: Barker, Tyler
Abstract:: Despite the advances in surgery, physical therapy, and pharmaceutical agents, muscle dysfunction (i.e., atrophy and weakness) continues to impair recovery from an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and surgery. Ischemia-reperfusion injury during surgery and the subsequent limb disuse are two events experienced by patients having ACL surgery. Oxidative stress and...

Creator:: Pollard, Anne E.
Abstract:: Anterior cruciate ligament injuries are common in a wide variety of sports and most frequently occur during activities requiring rapid deceleration such as landing and cutting. Deceleration of the body's center of mass during movement results primarily from eccentric muscle contraction. This type of contraction serves to absorb energy from...

Creator:: Chang, Eun Wook
Abstract:: A functional test battery (FTB), which combines the use of subjective and objective functional measures, has been proposed as a potential means to distinguish anterior cruciate ligament reconstructed (ACLR) patients' that can more safely participate in activity from those at greater risk. However, no previous study has directly assessed whether...

Creator:: Johnson, Samuel T.
Abstract:: Despite years of research, females continue to have a higher incidence of non-contact ACL injuries. One of the major findings of this research is that males and females perform certain tasks, such as, cutting, landing, and single-leg squatting, differently. In particular, females tend to move the knee into a more...

Creator:: Kipp, Kristof
Abstract:: Although female athletes are at greater risk of non-contact knee injuries than men, the factors that contribute to these injuries are not well understood. One important question is whether intense exercise influences the risk of knee injury, both acutely and over the following days. The purpose of this study was...

Creator:: Perrier, Erica Taylor
Abstract:: Female athletes exhibit three- to six-fold greater incidence of noncontact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury relative to their male counterparts. The increased risk appears to stem from interactions between several risk factors, that can roughly be categorized as anatomic, biomechanical, hormonal, and neuromuscular. Neuromuscular risk factors have recently gained a...

Abstract:: Suspensory apparatus breakdown and hyperextension of the metacarpophalangeal and metatarsophalangeal (fetlock) joints is a common condition in the llama and has been observed in llamas of all ages. Llama breeders refer to the condition as "down in the pasterns" or "down in the fetlocks." The condition can result in debilitating...
