Knee strength deficits after hamstring tendon and patellar tendon anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction
Article Abstract:
Strength level deficits have been found to exist for certain contraction types and ranges of motion between the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and control groups. They were dependent on autograft donor site. Specific rehabilitation protocols should be developed, depending on donor site. A study was carried out to look at the strength of knee flexors and knee extensors after two surgical techniques of ACL reconstruction and to compare them to an age- and activity-level-matched control group.
