Postural control — a comparison between patients with chronic anterior cruciate ligament insufficiency and healthy individuals

Abstract

Postural controla comparison between patients with chronic anterior cruciate ligament insufficiencv and healthy individuals Lysholm M, Ledin T, Odkvist LM, Good L. Postural controla comparison between patients with chronic anterior cruciate ligament insufficiency and healthy individuals.Scand average of 86% of the total resisting force (1). Markolf et al.(2) postulated that the factors influencing knee stability during weight-bearing activities were provided by interactions of many phenomena, including ligament and other soft tissue restraints, condylar geometry, active muscular control and tibio-femoral contact forces.It has, however, become apparent that the ACL

Dynamic Single-Leg Postural Control Is Impaired Bilaterally Following Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: Implications for Reinjury Risk

“…Although the lower CoP ML range observed in the ACLR limb was statistically significant, the effect size was small (SMD, 0.22) and the difference was only 3%, which is substantially below the standard error of measurement of these CoP measures (11% or less). 21 These findings extend previous static 3,19,31 and dynamic 18,25,32 postural control data demonstrating no difference in CoP measurements between the ACL-injured limb and contralateral limb. A similar lack of between-limb differences also has been observed using a functional screening tool (Star Excursion Balance Test) at the time of return to sport (mean, 6.7 months) post-ACLR.…”

A Quantitative Assessment of Proprioceptive Function Improvement After Arthroscopic Acl Reconstruction Surgery

“…8 A more functional test like postural sway (the degree of sway as indicated by Balance Index) measured with kinesthetic ability trainer could be used for the assessment of proprioceptive function. 10,11 There are very few studies, 7,10 which have assessed the proprioceptive function using kinesthetic ability trainer which measures the Postural sway using Balance Index.…”

“…9 Stabilometric methods and instrumentation may provide a relatively accurate method for these measures. 10 Gray et al in 1985 defined Postural control as an ability to stand with as little sway as possible. 13 Ochsendorf et al in 2000 postulated that the ability to maintain balance demands the coordinated actuation of joint, muscle, visual and vestibular receptors 11 .…”

Efeito de informação sensorial adicional na propriocepção e equilíbrio de indivíduos com lesão do LCA

“…Many authors have investigated several aspects of the sensory and motor behavior of individuals with ACL injuries, such as, for example, proprioception and stance control. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] However, although these aspects involving proprioception and stance control have been studied in individuals with ACL injuries for at least 20 years, many controversies and contradictions still remain. A critical point is the real sensory limitation resulting from ACL injuries and its consequences on motor behavior.…”
