Book The Effects of Functional Knee Bracing on Physical Performance in Female Athletes Post Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction During Return to Sport

Download or read book The Effects of Functional Knee Bracing on Physical Performance in Female Athletes Post Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction During Return to Sport written by Briana Boulerice and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: Background: Functional knee braces are commonly prescribed to patients after anterior cruciateligament reconstruction (ACLR) surgery to reduce anterior translation of the tibia and providestability to the knee. The purpose of this literature review is to determine if functional kneebracing affects physical performance in high-impact athletes.Method: A comprehensive literature review conducted using Medline Complete, CINAHL, Cochrane Systematic Reviews, Cochrane Control Trials, SPORTDiscus, Rehab and Sports Medicine, PEDro, PTNow/apta.org, Google Scholar, ClinicalTrials.gov, and NIH. Inclusion criteria required publication after 2010, history of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear, reconstruction using bone-to-bone patellar tendon autograft (BTBPA), and subject pool of highimpact athletes ages 19-25. Non-English literature and studies examining immobilizer or postsurgical bracing were excluded. Articles were critically appraised for internal and external validity.Results: Five studies met the inclusion criteria, including 3 intervention studies, and 2 systematic reviews. Functional knee bracing increased hop distance symmetry and peak impact performance symmetry. No impact on joint position sense, the modified agility test (MAT), the vertical jump test or quadriceps function was found.Discussion/Conclusion: Prescribing functional knee braces to athletes does not have an effect on physical performance during return to sport. Prescription of a functional knee brace (FKB) also increases healthcare cost. Limitations include underrepresentation of female high-impact athletes, lack of a universal definition of functional knee bracing, and poor homogeneity of graft type. Lastly, bracing may have a positive impact on athlete confidence in the return to sport period.

Book Effects of Knee Brace on Anterior Cruciate Ligament Strain During Drop landing

This book was released on 2014 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Knee is one of the most commonly injured joint in the human body and majority of the injuries are associated with ligaments which have detrimental effects on joint's stability and function. Bracing has often been used as a prominent measure to restrain an unstable joint and for individuals with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury as a post-operative treatment measure. However, it is not known if the brace would protect the ACL of an uninjured person during dynamic activities by reducing the strain in the ACL. Primary objective of this research study was to investigate the effects of knee brace on ACL during dynamic activities. Hence a combined in-vivo/ in-vitro methodology was used to assess the influence of “CTi-Custom” knee brace on ACL strain during drop-landing activity. Motion capture was performed on the drop-landing activity of a high-risk subject with and without knee brace worn. These in-vivo kinetic and kinematic parameters were subsequently input into a biomechanical model to calculate muscle forces that span the knee joint. A hybrid surrogate knee model was prepared using cast foam shell that was wrapped around a cadaver knee specimen to form an artificial interface for mounting a custom fit knee brace during in-vitro simulation. A strain gauge was instrumented on ACL of hybrid surrogate cadaver specimen and mounted on a dynamic knee simulator, where kinematics and muscle forces were applied replicating braced and unbraced drop-landing conditions. This simulation was performed with and without the brace mounted on the cadaver knee specimen and the ACL strain was measured. Observing biomechanical model outputs it was evident that muscle forces for braced and unbraced conditions were different and the knee brace appeared to reduce the ACL antagonist muscle forces thereby dissipating energy, consequently reducing the peak GRF and the internal joint forces. The peak strain in the ACL was radically different for braced (8% strain) and unbraced (18% strain) conditions. However, when unbraced kinetics/kinematics was simulated with brace mounted on the cadaver knee, the ACL strain was not different from the unbraced condition. This enabled us to conclude that the custom fit knee braces reduce the strain in the ACL of high-risk subjects thus preventing them from potential ACL injury. However, any decrease in the ACL strain observed while wearing the brace was due to the brace altering the muscle firing pattern rather than due to the mechanical restraint offered by the brace. This reinforces previous research findings that brace affects proprioceptive feedback and alters the muscle firing pattern.
