Quadriceps tendon autograft ACL reconstructed subjects overshoot target knee extension angle during active proprioception testing.

摘要: To compare the active joint position sense (JPS), muscle strength, and knee functions in individuals who had anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction with quadriceps tendon autograft, hamstring tibialis allograft healthy individuals. It was hypothesized that when compared to an age gender-matched control group, subjects were post-ACL would display impaired sense, extensor flexor strength symmetry function at 1 year post-surgery. A secondary hypothesis differences exist between autograft groups. Sixty-seven patients ACL 20 included. Active JPS reproduction measured 15°, 45° 75° of flexion. International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) subjective score one-leg hop test used assess functional status patients. The detection different 15° target angle groups (F3.86 = 24.56, p < 0.001). significantly higher proportion group failed identify assessment other (p < 0.0001). index lower (p < 0.001), while similar (n.s.). outcomes reconstructed controls proprioception deficits evident among a mean 13.5 months controls. Patients underwent using may be more likely actively over-estimate near terminal extension. Physiotherapists need focus greater attention on extension proprioceptive awareness this patient group. III.
