The study aimed to review and summarize the existing evidence on the effectiveness of vibration therapy (VT) compared with conventional rehabilitation in ACL-reconstructed patients. The methodology used included database search for published studies investigating the effects of VT. VT was found to significantly improve: hamstring peak torque, quadriceps peak torque. The study suggest that VT […]
cruciate ligament reconstruction
Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) is often associated with chronic quadriceps dysfunction leading to abnormal gait biomechanics and joint damage. Previous studies have shown that vibration improves quadriceps function in people with ACLR, but the duration of these effects is unknown. Therefore, American scientists from High Point University analyzed the time course of quadriceps muscle […]
