Neuromuscular Control in Individuals Following ACL-Reconstruction

NCT04495075 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 10

Last updated 2020-07-31

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the neurophysiological contributors to muscle function following ACL Reconstruction and the influence of motor control biofeedback exercise on measures of muscle function. The research team hypothesizes that the application of motor biofeedback will increase cortical excitability of the quadriceps compared to the passive movement of the knee.

This is a single session cross-over intervention study with a 1-week washout period between treatment arms.

Conditions

  • Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries
  • Quadriceps Muscle Atrophy

Interventions

OTHER

Visuomotor Therapy

The use of visual feedback informing internal physiological processes, such as muscle activation, torque, and joint position, has been termed "visuomotor therapy". Visuomotor therapy encompasses completion of sub-maximal motor control tasks accompanying real-time visual biofeedback.

OTHER

Passive Motion

The knee is passively moved through a range of motion.
