Summary

The goal of this study is to determine short-term adaptations (aftereffects) in knee loading after a 20-minute split-belt treadmill training session in patients with ACL reconstruction.

Our main question for this aim are:

1. Are training-mediated aftereffects in the knee joint moment greater for tied-belt walking or split-belt walking?
2. Are training-mediated aftereffects in the knee joint moment different between subjects who train early stance knee loading versus subjects who train mid-stance knee loading?

Conditions

  • ACL
  • ACL Injury

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Split-belt Training

Walking on a split-belt treadmill in which the speed of one belt will be different (move faster or slower) than the speed of the other belt.

BEHAVIORAL

Tied-Belt Training

Walking on a split-belt treadmill in which the speed of both belts is the same.
