Abstract

Objectives: This study examines the strength and functional capacity of active soccer players two years post anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR).

Methods: Sixteen players, two years post ACLR, participated. Isokinetic tests assessed Peak Torque (PT) for concentric and eccentric contractions, along with conventional (H/Qconv) and functional (H/Qfunc) H/Q ratios at various angular velocities. Functional ability was gauged through hop tests. Paired-Samples T Test compared PT and hop test values, as well as H/Qconv and H/Qfunc ratios between involved and non-involved limbs. Limb symmetry was evaluated using the Limb Symmetry Index (LSI).

Results: After two years, participants exhibited significant differences in concentric PT between limbs. The non-involved limb demonstrated superior performance at isokinetic speeds. Eccentrically, PT for knee extensors and flexors showed no significant disparities between the operated and non-operated limbs across all velocities tested. Most participants did not achieve LSI 90-110% for knee extensors and flexors. No noteworthy distinctions were observed in H/Qconv, H/Qfunc, and hop tests between limbs. The majority met LSI 90-110% in hop tests, except in the 30-second side hop (37%).

Conclusions: Two years post ACLR, soccer players still manifest strength and functional deficits, heightening the risk of injury.

评估前十字韧带重建两年后足球运动员的力量和功能能力：横断面研究

研究目的本研究探讨了前十字韧带重建（ACLR）术后两年的现役足球运动员的力量和功能能力：方法：16 名前交叉韧带重建术后两年的球员参加了研究。等动测试评估了同心收缩和偏心收缩的峰值扭矩（PT），以及在不同角速度下的常规（H/Qconv）和功能（H/Qfunc）H/Q 比值。功能能力则通过跳跃测试来衡量。配对样本 T 检验比较了受累肢体和非受累肢体的 PT 和跳跃测试值以及 H/Qconv 和 H/Qfunc 比率。肢体对称性采用肢体对称性指数（LSI）进行评估：结果：两年后，受试者肢体间的同心 PT 存在显著差异。未受累的肢体在等速运动时表现更佳。在所有速度测试中，膝关节伸肌和屈肌的偏心运动能力在手术肢体和非手术肢体之间没有明显差异。大多数参与者的膝关节伸肌和屈肌的 LSI 均未达到 90-110%。在 H/Qconv、H/Qfunc 和跳跃测试中，没有观察到肢体间存在明显差异。在跳跃测试中，除 30 秒侧跳测试（37%）外，大多数人都达到了 LSI 90-110% 的水平：结论：前交叉韧带修复术后两年，足球运动员仍存在力量和功能缺陷，增加了受伤的风险。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Musculoskeletal and Neuronal Interactions (JMNI) is an academic journal dealing with the pathophysiology and treatment of musculoskeletal disorders. It is published quarterly (months of issue March, June, September, December). Its purpose is to publish original, peer-reviewed papers of research and clinical experience in all areas of the musculoskeletal system and its interactions with the nervous system, especially metabolic bone diseases, with particular emphasis on osteoporosis. Additionally, JMNI publishes the Abstracts from the biannual meetings of the International Society of Musculoskeletal and Neuronal Interactions, and hosts Abstracts of other meetings on topics related to the aims and scope of JMNI.
