Summary

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is thought to have two main roles within the body: (1) providing a physical restraint to excessive rotation and forwards translation within the knee and (2) providing sensory information to the sensorimotor cortex (contributes to motor planning and motor task execution). Therefore, an ACL injury is thought to be not just a physical injury but also one which affects an individual's ability to plan and execute motor tasks. It has been suggested in previous research that following an ACL injury and even post-ACL reconstruction, individuals may become reliant on the visual-motor system when planning and executing movements. Therefore, this study aims to compare an ACLR population against healthy controls to see if it is possible to identify those who may be visually-motor reliant by accessing movement control in the absence of vision
