Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction (ACLR) and neuromuscular training [ 2014 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Mr Timothy Sayer (Principal investigator)

Brief description Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstructive (ACLR) following ACL rupture is a successful surgery that improves stability of the knee joint. However, evidence is emerging that despite undergoing reconstructive surgery, osteoarthritis of the knee joint is prevalent in the proceeding years. The proposed research aims to improve biomechanical abnormalities by providing a neuromuscular intervention. This could lead to a more optimal biomechanical pattern which could reduce the degenerative changes occurring within the knee of ACLR patients.
