Improvement in motor function after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is achieved by appropriate rehabilitation. However, it has been questioned whether training after injury can lead to sensory improvement. We hypothesized that motor function can be restored after unilateral non-reconstructed ACL injury, whereas the sensory function cannot, i.e., there would be no difference in functional performance or knee muscle strength between subjects with ACL injury and uninjured controls, but the subjects with ACL injury would have poorer kinesthesia than the uninjured controls. This is a Cross-Sectional Study, wherein 56 (20 women and 36 men) individuals with unilateral non-reconstructed ACL injury were assessed at a mean of 15 years (SD 1.4 years) after the initial injury. All patients initially underwent rehabilitation and were advised to modify their activity level, in order to cope with the ACL insufficiency. At 15 years, they had good subjective function and acceptable activity level. Twenty-eight (14 women and 14 men) uninjured subjects served as controls. Patients and controls were assessed with the one-leg hop test for distance, isometric and isokinetic knee muscle strength, and kinesthesia (the threshold to detection of passive motion). The individuals with ACL injury had the same or better functional performance, measured by the one-leg hop test for distance, and knee muscle strength compared with the uninjured controls. Kinesthesia was poorer in the patient group than in the control group. The results indicate that motor function can be restored but that the sensory function is persistently disturbed after ACL injury.

“…The methods chosen in our study were passive angle reproduction (PAR) (Perlau et al, 1995) active angle reproduction (AAR) tests (Fridén et al, 1996). As the former studies have demonstrated there were no differences proprioceptive measures between dominant and non-dominant limbs, and so the right leg of each subject was selected to ease the testing setup (Jerosch & Prymka, 1996).…”

“…The knee starting position was at 90° of knee flexion and the target angle was 45°, this angle is believed to be in the working range of the knee during daily weight-bearing activities (Jerosch & Prymka, 1996). In the first trial, the lever arm passively extended the test limb, to the target angle of 45° without resistance to the movement.…”

Background: Proprioception plays an integral role in the neuromotor control of the knee joint. The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship of knee joint proprioception deficit and regular exercise activities with obesity. Material/Method:In this case control study, we had 60 participants, aged 18 to 35 in four groups (15 athletes obese; 15 athletes with normal weight; 15 non-athletes obese; 15 non-athletes with normal weight). The average Body Mass Index for the obese groups was 33.50±(3.10) kg/m 2 and for the normal weight groups was 23.77±(2.94) kg/m 2 . We used a Biodex Multi-Joint System 4 Isokinetic Dynamometer to examine proprioception acuity as the amount of a subject's error when trying to reproduce a test knee extension angle (a measure of the joint position sense). We tested proprioception actively (active reproduction test; AAR) and passively (passive reproduction test; PAR) in the right leg. Results:The non-athlete obese group had significantly poorer proprioception acuity in the knee extension movement compared to the normal weight groups and also compared to the athlete obese group. For knee active angle reproduction test AAR, a significant difference was found (p=0.011). The results for passive angle reproduction test PAR, revealed no significant differences between the four groups (p=0.596). Conclusions:The obese groups showed a deficit in the proprioception function in knee extension movement. Furthermore, the findings suggest that doing regular weight bearing training is associated with better proprioceptive function, even in obese groups. It could manifest that the deleterious effect of obesity on the knee joint proprioception might be stronger than the beneficial influence of exercise training.

“…The mechanism of the sensory information addition action, especially the subpatellar strip, has not yet been fully elucidated. The main hypothesis, found in studies, suggests the increase of afferents by constant cutaneous stimulation, greater stimulation to the superficial skin receptors and local receptors, with consequent improvement of the articular proprioceptive response (12)(13)(14)(15)(16)22) . Older fallers present reduced mobility and are more likely to decrease muscle strength caused by aging and inactivity, with consequent impact on walking and stabilization of the ankle and hip (36).…”

“…The additional sensory information is also the great importance for healthy individuals, as long as it provides useful information for carrying out the proposed task (8)(9)(10) . The first studies using the addition of sensory information proved their efficacy in healthy individuals, but it is of greater relevance in subjects with proprioceptive deficit (9,11,15,16) . Therefore, the geriatric population can benefit from the effect of additional sensory information, which is a low-cost tool which may help maintain postural balance and reduce the risk of falls (13) .…”

Background: Postural balance consists of information emanating from the interaction of visual, somatosensory and vestibular systens. This information is impaired in aging, leading to postural control changes in the elderly, increasing the risk of falls in this population. The postural balance may be improved with the addition of sensory information, such as a subpatelar bandage. Objective: To investigate the effect of using additional sensory information in gait speed and functional mobility of older fallers. Methods: 28 elderly women were evaluated, all were considered fallers. The test Timed Up and Go (TUG) was used to assess functional mobility and 10m Test to evaluate the gait speed. The tests were performed with and without the addition of additional sensory information (subpatelar strip). The normality was verified by the Shapiro-Wilk test and the results were compared using paired Student t test and Wilcoxon test. Results: There was significant difference in the TUG (p = 0.0006) and in the gait speed (p = 0.004) with and without subpatelar strip. Conclusion:The use of additional sensory information increased the gait speed and functional mobility of older fallers.
