Implementing ACL Injury Prevention in Daily Sports Practice-It's Not Just the Program Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Although the benefits of current anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury prevention programmes have been demonstrated in efficacy studies, they, unfortunately, have had limited public health impact to date. For example, the incidence of ACL injuries continues to rise in adolescent athletes. Raising awareness and educating coaches and athletes is not enough to facilitate the widespread, sustained use of these programmes in the real-world ...
Motor learning methods that induce high practice variability reduce kinematic and kinetic risk factors of non-contact ACL injury KU Leuven
The prevention of non-contact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries often involves movement training, but the effectiveness of different motor learning methods has not been fully investigated. The purpose of this study was therefore to examine the effects of linear pedagogy (LP), nonlinear pedagogy (NLP) and differential learning (DL) motor learning methods on changing kinetic and kinematic factors during expected sidestep cutting related to ...
Cartilage adaptations after ACL injury and reconstruction : implications for clinical management and return to play decisions? Universiteit Gent
There is no such thing like a single ACL injury: Profiles of ACL-injured patients KU Leuven
BACKGROUND: Current ACL registries rarely include non-operatively treated patients thus delivering an incomplete picture of the ACL-injured population. The aim of this study was to get an image of the population and treatment decision of an intrahospital registry. Our hypotheses were that patient-specific subtypes can be identified and that the percentage of operated patients differs between them. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Three hundred and ...
Ramp lesions associated with ACL injuries are more likely to be present in contact injuries and complete ACL tears KU Leuven
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to analyse patient and injury characteristics as well as arthroscopic findings in a prospective cohort of ACL-injured patients with or without an associated ramp lesion. METHODS: Two hundred and twenty-four patients undergoing a primary (n = 196) or revision (n = 28) ACL reconstruction were included. The presence of a ramp lesion was determined by a systematic arthroscopic inspection of the posteromedial ...
Reliability of dynamic balance simultaneously with cognitive performance in patients with ACL deficiency and after ACL reconstructions and in healthy controls KU Leuven
PURPOSE: To determine the intra- and inter-session reliability of balance and cognitive performance in anterior cruciate ligament-deficient (ACLD) and ACL-reconstructed (ACLR) and matched athletes. METHODS: Using SMART EquiTest, recovery reactions of the groups were assessed during single-leg standing, following medium and large forward perturbations with and without performing a cognitive (Stroop) task. The outcomes included reaction time (RT), ...
Muscle strength and hop performance criteria prior to return to sports after ACL reconstruction KU Leuven Universiteit Gent
PURPOSE: The purpose of this article is to present recommendations for new muscle strength and hop performance criteria prior to a return to sports after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. METHODS: A search was made of relevant literature relating to muscle function, self-reported questionnaires on symptoms, function and knee-related quality of life, as well as the rate of re-injury, the rate of return to sports and the development ...
