Abstract:Context: The association between anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and the development of secondary osteoarthritis has been the subject of several studies. Ligament injury predisposes joint cartilage lesions, thus influencing motor control and peak torque. Objective: To evaluate the influence of the degree of chondral lesion on peak torque of the anterior and posterior musculature of the thigh following ACL injury and reconstruction. Method: Six male subjects with total unilateral ACL injury were evaluat… Show more
“…Programs that involve resistance exercises can also focus on the prevention of injuries 3,4 , such as in cases where joint instability generated by deficiency of the dynamic joint stabilizers predisposes to degeneration of synovial structures 5 . Strength gains provided by resistance exercise programs are associated with important clinical benefit, and therefore, numerous methods of resistance training have been developed 6,7 .…”
