“…However, the optimal vibration parameters have yet to be fully determined and require further investigation due to the limited data available in current literature. Troy Blackburn et al (2021) observed a rapid effect of WBV and LMV on increasing maximal muscle force output, specifically peak isometric knee extension torque, for several minutes following application. Moreover, their results indicated that vibration enhances quadriceps function for at least 20 min (LMV) and up to 1 h (WBV) following application in individuals with ACLR, which was attributed to enhanced excitability of the central nervous system.…”

Despite significant advancements in surgical instruments and operation skills, short- and long-term outcomes following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) remain unsatisfactory, as many patients fail to return to their pre-injury level of sports. Inadequate ACL rehabilitation is the primary cause of poor outcomes. Nurses have become a crucial element in the rehabilitation process. Although there is no consensus regarding the optimal post-operative rehabilitation protocols, restoring muscle strength and neuromuscular control are consistently the primary goals. This literature review presents nurse-assisted rehabilitation protocols aiming at improving muscle strength and neuromuscular control. The review discusses postoperative rehabilitation, including home-based and supervised rehabilitation, open and closed kinetic chain exercises, eccentric and concentric training, blood flow restriction training, and plyometric training. Each training protocol has its benefits and drawbacks, and should be used cautiously in specific stages of rehabilitation. Neuromuscular training, such as neuromuscular electrical stimulation, neuromuscular control exercises, and vibration therapy, is considered crucial in rehabilitation.

“…17,24 Other strategies that target the somatosensory system by stimulating the surrounding knee musculature (eg, vibration or transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) may improve somatosensory function and, in turn, restore knee function. 4,22,67 However, as no controlled interventional studies have evaluated whether these rehabilitation methods translate into positive patient outcomes after ACL-R, future work is required before widespread clinical recommendation.…”

Background: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture is a common knee injury among athletes and physically active adults. Despite surgical reconstruction and extensive rehabilitation, reinjuries are common and disability levels are high, even years after therapy and return to activity. Prolonged knee dysfunction may result in part from unresolved neuromuscular deficits of the surrounding joint musculature in response to injury. Indeed, “upstream” neurological adaptations occurring after injury may explain these persistent functional deficits. Despite evidence for injury consequences extending beyond the joint to the nervous system, the link between neurophysiological impairments and patient-reported measures of knee function remains unclear. Hypothesis: Patterns of brain activation for knee control are related to measures of patient-reported knee function in individuals after ACL reconstruction (ACL-R). Study Design: Cross-sectional study. Level of Evidence: Level 3. Methods: In this multicenter, cross-sectional study, participants with unilateral ACL-R (n = 25; 10 men, 15 women) underwent task-based functional magnetic resonance imaging testing. Participants performed repeated cycles of open-chain knee flexion/extension. Neural activation patterns during the movement task were quantified using blood oxygen level–dependent (BOLD) signals. Regions of interest were generated using the Juelich Histological Brain Atlas. Pearson product-moment correlations were used to determine the relationship between mean BOLD signal within each brain region and self-reported knee function level, as measured by the International Knee Documentation Committee index. Partial correlations were also calculated after controlling for time from surgery and sex. Results: Patient-reported knee function was positively and moderately correlated with the ipsilateral secondary somatosensory cortex ( r = 0.57, P = 0.005) and the ipsilateral supplementary motor area ( r = 0.51, P = 0.01). Conclusion: Increased ipsilateral secondary sensorimotor cortical activity is related to higher perceived knee function. Clinical Relevance: Central nervous system mechanisms for knee control are related to subjective levels of knee function after ACL-R. Increased neural activity may reflect central neuroplastic strategies to preserve knee functionality after traumatic injury.

“…Vibration therapy may reduce the effects of AMI by altering somatosensory input to articular and cutaneous mechanoreceptors. In the context of orthopedic injury, both whole-body and local muscle vibration have enhanced various aspects of muscle function among individuals with ACLR, [134][135][136][137][138] experimental effusion, 139 knee OA, [140][141][142][143][144] total knee arthroplasty, 145 knee pain, 146 and chronic ankle instability. 147 Vibration has been conventionally applied in short bouts (30-60 s) either indirectly via platform (whole-body) or directly to a muscle-tendon unit (local) during therapeutic exercise or a series of isometric squats with protocols ranging from 1 to 24 sessions over 8 to 12 weeks.…”

“…Although the most appropriate mode of vibration is unclear, longer lasting effects have been observed following whole-body vibration (up to 60 min) compared with locally stimulated muscle (up to 20 min). 138 Local vibration is restricted to a smaller field of receptors but appears to enhance muscle activity by means of invoking a tonic vibration reflex secondary to increased muscle spindle discharge. [150][151][152] In contrast, whole-body vibration stimulates a broader field of mechanoreceptors, including those located in joint tissues, which may contribute to a longer therapeutic effect.…”

Context: Arthrogenic muscle inhibition (AMI) impedes the recovery of muscle function following joint injury, and in a broader sense, acts as a limiting factor in rehabilitation if left untreated. Despite a call to treat the underlying pathophysiology of muscle dysfunction more than three decades ago, the continued widespread observations of post-traumatic muscular impairments are concerning, and suggest that interventions for AMI are not being successfully integrated into clinical practice. Objectives: To highlight the clinical relevance of AMI, provide updated evidence for the use of clinically accessible therapeutic adjuncts to treat AMI, and discuss the known or theoretical mechanisms for these interventions. Evidence Acquisition: PubMed and Web of Science electronic databases were searched for articles that investigated the effectiveness or efficacy of interventions to treat outcomes relevant to AMI. Evidence Synthesis: 122 articles that investigated an intervention used to treat AMI among individuals with pathology or simulated pathology were retrieved from 1986 to 2021. Additional articles among uninjured individuals were considered when discussing mechanisms of effect. Conclusion: AMI contributes to the characteristic muscular impairments observed in patients recovering from joint injuries. If left unresolved, AMI impedes short-term recovery and threatens patients’ long-term joint health and well-being. Growing evidence supports the use of neuromodulatory strategies to facilitate muscle recovery over the course of rehabilitation. Interventions should be individualized to meet the needs of the patient through shared clinician–patient decision-making. At a minimum, we propose to keep the treatment approach simple by attempting to resolve inflammation, pain, and effusion early following injury.
