Summary

The majority of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries occur during non-contact mechanisms.This suggests that an individual's movement technique is a significant factor in the cause of the injury. Hence, ACL injuries are increasingly being framed as an error in motor planning and execution.

Rehab following an ACL reconstruction (ACLR) commonly follows a pathway of: regaining ROM, strength development, power development, running, return to training and then return to competition. However, several studies utilising functional brain MRI and electroencephalogram have demonstrated dysfunction within the somatosensory and visual systems in the ACLR population even after the completion of rehabilitation. This has been suggested to indicate that the ACLR population becomes reliant on their visual system during motor planning and execution, potentially increasing the risk of reinjury.
