Abstract Details

2010, Master of Science in Exercise and Health Studies, Miami University, Physical Education, Health, and Sport Studies.
The increase in adolescent and young adult sport participation has contributed to a rapid rise in sports-related knee injuries, particularly anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries. Even following surgical reconstruction and comprehensive rehabilitation, asymmetries in performance of the injured knee may increase the risk of future injury. Muscle power is an important representation of an athlete‘s abilities to perform various demands imposed in sports; however, relatively little research has examined measures of single leg power in athletes following ACL reconstruction. The purpose of this study is to examine single leg power generation in adolescent and young adult athletes following ACL reconstruction. A portable force platform was used to compare power generation of the injured and uninjured legs during single leg hopping. The findings from this study offer clinical implications for future rehabilitation interventions and prevention of future injury.
