Assessment of Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Degeneratio Mucosa Treatment
Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Degeneratio Mucosa is a condition resulting from mucoid degeneration of ACL. Exact etiology is unknown, however ACL Degeneratio Mucosa impairs everyday functioning. In the literature there were some reports of treatment by ACL excision and subsequent reconstruction, however such treatment brings risk of deteriorated function. In …
Biologic Therapy to Prevent Osteoarthritis After ACL Injury
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are extremely common. On average, 50% of individuals suffering an ACL injury will develop radiographic osteoarthritis (OA) 10 to 20 years after injury. Unfortunately, ACL reconstruction does not prevent risk of future OA. Interleukin-1 (IL-1) levels in the human knee joint increase transiently after an …
Efficacy of the NXSignal Device for the Treatment of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries
Injury to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is very common among sports professionals and the general population \[. Unlike other joint injuries, it is reversible, but it can damage adjacent tissues, particularly the meniscus, and catalyze knee osteoarthritis. ACL injury produces instability, joint mechanical alteration, which can lead to degenerative …
Bracing and Reconstruction of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament for Efficacy Trial
Several attempts have been made to reduce these failure rates and improve return to sports rates in high-risk populations, and one of these approaches has been postoperative bracing. A recent survey of the Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) Study Group has shown that 53% of surgeons prefers functional bracing following ACL …
Motor Imagery Training Football Players With Anterior Cruciate Ligament Repair
Volunteer participants who have undergone anterior cruciate ligament surgery at Bursa Çekirge State Hospital and meet the inclusion criteria will be included in the study. The study will select a sample group from the universe using the probability sampling method (simple random sampling). Participants will be divided into 2 groups: …
Comparative Study of Functional Outcomes Between Peroneus Longus and Hamstring Tendon Autografts in Arthroscopic ACL Reconstruction
This is a prospective, single-blinded, randomized controlled trial. Sixty patients (≥18 years) with an isolated ACL injury will be randomly assigned to receive an ACL reconstruction using either a Peroneus Longus Tendon (PLT) autograft or a Hamstring Tendon (HST) autograft. The primary objective is to compare early functional outcomes between …
Graded Exposure and Mindfulness Meditation for Patients Post-ACL Reconstruction
To evaluate the effect of graded exposure and mindfulness meditation after ACLR, the investigators will determine the effect of graded exposure and mindfulness meditation to 1) decrease self-reported injury-related fear and reinjury anxiety, and 2) improve lower extremity reaction time when compared to a waitlist control group.
Steps Towards Osteoarthritis Prevention
Optimal knee joint loading, which refers to the forces acting on the knee caused by daily activities such as daily steps, plays an essential role in maintaining knee articular cartilage health and reducing the risk of osteoarthritis (OA). After anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR), individuals take fewer daily steps as …
Effect of Visual-Guided Balance Training on Knee Motor Function and Biomechanical Characteristics After ACL Reconstruction
This study aims to investigate the improvement effect of visual-guided balance training on the knee joint function and gait performance of patients after ACLR, and to clarify the advantages of this training program compared to conventional rehabilitation training; at the same time, by including healthy individuals as the control group, …
Knee Extension Deficit Following an Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction (Extension Loss)
Knee extension loss following an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is believed to play an important role in quadriceps strength recovery. One of the main goals of the rehabilitation following ACL reconstruction is to restore knee extensor muscle strength. Deficits of more than a five-degree extension range of motion (ROM) …
