ACL versus Healthy knees
Time to Stabilization of Anterior Cruciate Ligament–Reconstructed Versus Healthy Knees
Webster & Gribble, Journal of Athletic Training 2010;45(6):580–585
Synopsis:
At an average of 2.5 years after ACL reconstruction, participants with ACLR knees took longer to stabilize during a single-leg jump-landing task than participants in the healthy control group. Clinicians might focus rehabilitation on dynamic stabilization following jump landing.
Also dynamic postural-control deficits and difficulties in controlling ground reaction forces during landing might be present in women with anterior cruciate ligament–reconstructed knees even after clearance by a physician and return to play.
Review:
This study only had only 24 female basketball, volleyball, and soccer players who were put into healthy or ACLR groups. This is not going to show a comparison to male athletes.
