Abstract

Objective

To analyze if immediate visual and verbal feedback influenced landing mechanics during single and dual-task conditions in recreationally active females with a history of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLr) compared to healthy controls.

Design

Cross-sectional cohort study.

Setting

Motion Laboratory.

Participants

33 college-aged females with two to five years status post-ACLr and 33 matched health controls.

Materials and methods

30 Drop landings were performed over one single session with immediate post-trial feedback followed by a retention trial on peak vGRF and symmetry.

Main outcome measures

Vertical ground reaction forces (vGRFs) during drop landing from a 50-cm platform and loading rate (LR) normalized to body weight.

Results

For peak vGRF, there was a time effect from baseline, post-test, and transfer task trials. Based on baseline, post-test, and transfer tasks, there was a significant group-by-time interaction between the ACLr and a healthy group. For peak vGRF asymmetry, there was no time effect from baseline, post-test, and transfer task trials. There was a significant group effect for peak vGRF asymmetry. Total LR did not show a time effect from baseline, post-test, and transfer task. The ACLr group demonstrated higher LR compared to the health group.

Conclusions

Results demonstrated a reduction in peak vGRF and asymmetry in vGRF during drop landings with the inclusion of augmented feedback. The ACLr group demonstrated higher LR than the control group. Rehabilitation specialists may be able to incorporate targeted feedback as an intervention to help resolve landing asymmetries following ACLr.

期刊介绍： Physical Therapy in Sport is an international peer-reviewed journal that provides a forum for the publication of research and clinical practice material relevant to the healthcare professions involved in sports and exercise medicine, and rehabilitation. The journal publishes material that is indispensable for day-to-day practice and continuing professional development. Physical Therapy in Sport covers topics dealing with the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of injuries, as well as more general areas of sports and exercise medicine and related sports science. The journal publishes original research, case studies, reviews, masterclasses, papers on clinical approaches, and book reviews, as well as occasional reports from conferences. Papers are double-blind peer-reviewed by our international advisory board and other international experts, and submissions from a broad range of disciplines are actively encouraged.
