Neuromuscular Control of the Knee during a Resisted Single-Limb Squat Exercise

Abstract: Background-Closed kinetic chain exercises such as single-limb squats are preferred for knee rehabilitation. A complete understanding of the neuromuscular control of the knee during the single-limb squat is essential to increase the efficiency of rehabilitation programs.

“…However, due to the consistently reported low HS activity during unilateral WB exercises, 5,9,17,24,30 which is consistent with our findings, these exercises would have limited strengthening effects in healthy individuals. If HS strengthening is indicated, exercises such as the HS muscle curl exercise should be considered.…”

“…The single-limb squat, [26][27][28][29][30] Participants slowly lowered themselves toward the ground using their ankle, knee, and hip joints until they could touch the contralateral middle finger to the outside of the dominant foot without reaching with their shoulders. Next, they returned to the starting position and were instructed to keep their knees over their toes to prevent a knee valgus position (Figure 1).…”

“…[26][27][28][29]31,32 The single-limb squat frequently is used in functional movement screenings designed to identify individuals with faulty neuromechanics and in rehabilitation programs. Beutler et al 29 recommended the use of the single-limb squat exercise for quadriceps strengthening after they observed peak quadriceps activity at 201% MVIC and peak hamstrings activity at 81% MVIC during this exercise.…”

“…The 2 tasks appear to challenge the neuromuscular system in different manners, and both should continue to be used in the investigation of injury risk. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2007;37 (5) 18,30,35 While there have been several studies examining electromyographic activity 2,14,38,39,42,43 and sagittal plane knee kinematics and kinetics during the step-down or single-leg squat task, 1,2,7 few studies have examined the frontal and transverse plane kinematics of these tasks. 6,43 A number of studies have investigated lower extremity biomechanics of men and women in an effort to explain the disparity in noncontact ACL injury rates between genders.…”
