Stimulating the somatosensory system during rehabilitation after ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) reconstruction may be necessary for complete neuromotor restoration.


Neuromotor deficits associated with quadriceps activation, postural control, and joint position and movement sense have been identified in patients who have undergone ACL reconstruction (ACLR).


These deficits may provide insight into sources of movement dysfunction in this population.


The further examination of the impact of #ACLinjury on the somatosensory system may provide additional insights into the underlying causes of these impairments.

“Most common causes for ACL tears”

Part 1 of a three part series on ACL tears…

ACL injuries are the most common sports-related injury of the knee. Seventy to 80% of ACL injuries are non-contact, with only 20 to 30% resulting from direct contact.

Pivoting and cutting sports such as soccer and basketball are the most common scenarios, whereas most direct contact ACL injuries occur in American football. Injuries often occur in relatively young athletic individuals 15 to 45 years of age. Females are two to eight times more likely to injure their ACL than males. Also, female basketball players are 7.8 times more likely to injure their ACL than male basketball players.

Mechanism of injury
The mechanism of injury often involves a maneuver of deceleration combined with twisting, pivoting, or side-stepping.

Signs/Symptoms
Most often a client will report hearing or feeling a “pop” during the activity, followed by immediate swelling, insta- bility, decreased ROM, and tenderness often occurs at the lateral line. This typically requires immediate medical care to immobilize and protect the joint, followed by a visit to the orthopedic doctor for further diagnosis and intervention.

Early Intervention
Postsurgery clients typically will be in physical therapy for the first three to four months, depending on the physician’s preferences and the client’s insurance constraints. The client is generally able to perform full weight bearing with crutches and a brace for the first two to six weeks. Physical therapy and a strengthening program continue until the injured knee has 90% of the strength of the other knee.

Common among protocols is a return to functional activity between 12 and 16 weeks after surgery and a return to sporting activities around six months. Clinical results of the ACL reconstruction are quite good, with very low reinjury rates.

The most common complication is residual anterior knee pain.

Achilles Tendinitis

Achilles tendon injuries are common in athletes playing tennis, basketball, and soccer,IMG_4176among other sports involving running, jumping, and pivoting movements.

People over 30 years old are more prone to this injury.  As you age, the tendon receives a reduced blood supply, which can put you at risk of injury. The tendon also experiences wear and tear, thereby weakening over time. Your muscles could endure extra stress if they are not flexible or warmed up prior to intense activity.

A strained Achilles tendon usually occurs in either of two locations: the narrow part behind the ankle or in the insertion of the tendon in the heel.Achilles Tendionitis

The healing process for this injury can take months to and usually occurs in very active people. Athletes should avoid stretching until most of the pain is gone!

Iliopsaos tendinitis is most common in soccer players and runners who tend to perform repetitive hip flexion movements.

The most common symptom is pain down the front of the, sometimes radiating down the thigh. Activities such as kicking, running uphill, or hip flexion can exacerbate the symptoms. IMG_6568

Initial treatment includes ice, stretching, and strengthening of the area can be helpful.

Return to play usually happens within three to six weeks and should be gradual.

Meniscal Tear

There are two types of meniscal tears, lateral and medial. The medial tears outnumber the lateral tears but in both cases they are caused by twisting and are much higher in basketball, football, and soccer.

meniscal_tear1

Localized tenderness/pain at the involved joint line with a small amount of swelling after activity is the most frequent complaint. Pain is often aggravated by any rotational leg activity and in extreme situations they might be unable to fully extend the knee (Known as locked knee).

Some athletes that choose a more conservative (non operative) approach do well and can return to sports in about 8-12 weeks and are limited by occasional pain and instability. If surgery is required it is typically an outpatient procedure and athletes return to full function within 6 weeks. knee-injury-meniscus

Athletes returning to sport should progress slowly and monitor swelling and pain. Exercises should focus on creating hip strength to reduce stress on the knee while supporting the lower limb.

With preseason just around the corner for soccer players of all levels, adductor or groin strains become more common. This injury generally occurs following a sudden contraction of the adductor group with the thigh externally rotated and the hip abducted.

Risk factors for adductor injuries include hip muscle weakness, imbalances between adductors and abductors, poor flexibility or prior injury. Pain is noted in the medial thigh or groin and is worse with adduction (bringing leg towards midline of the body).th (3)

Treatment for adductor strains start with PRICE (Protection, Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation). Once pain subsides, the athlete can begin isometric exercises and progress as tolerated. Stretching is important and is done primarily to keep muscles pliable and pain free.

groin

If no pain occurs with straight running, agility (pivoting and cutting) activities can resume as long as it is without difficulty. Return time can vary from one week for minor strains to six weeks or more for more severe strains.
