Targeting prolonged arthrogenic muscle responses following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction to prevent knee joint pathomechanics. Ghent University
Prolonged knee joint pathomechanics (KJPM) are a major concern with respect to post-traumatic osteoarthritis following reconstructive surgery of the anterior cruciate ligament. The underlying causes of KJPM remain unclear. Neuromuscular responses to a feeling of instability and/or fear of movement have been observed, referred to as arthrogenic muscle responses (AMR). Recently strong indications of supraspinal physiopathological mechanisms ...
