THE EFFECT OF CONSERVATIVELY TREATED ACL INJURY ON KNEE JOINT POSITIONSense

摘要

Proprioception is critical for effective movement patterns. However, methods ofproprioceptive measurement in previous research have been inconsistent and lackingin reliability statistics making it applications to clinical practice difficult.Researchers have suggested that damage to the anterior cruciate ligament(ACL) can alter proprioceptive ability due to a loss of functioningmechanoreceptors. The majority of patients opt for reconstructive surgeryfollowing this injury. However, some patients chose conservative rehabilitationoptions rather than surgical intervention.
