A Multi-Systems Approach to Human Movement after ACL Reconstruction: The Musculoskeletal System by Daniel Larson, Vien Vu, Brandon M Ness, Elizabeth Wellsandt, Scot Morrison

“…Several negative adaptations to the musculoskeletal system occur following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and ACL reconstruction (ACLR) such as arthrogenic muscle inhibition, decreased lower extremity muscle size, strength, power, as well as alterations to bone and cartilage. These changes have been associated with worse functional outcomes, altered biomechanics, and increased risk for re-injury and post-traumatic osteoarthritis. …”
