Summary

An assessment of the effect of surgical anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) on thigh muscles is critical to the improvement of knee rehabilitation and preservation. However, if a large number of studies had rated surgical technics, giving high results level for ACL reconstruction (ACLR), muscle recovery is still conditioning functional success. Furthermore there is no consensus about criteria in return to sport. The aim of this exploratory study is to quantify the mechanisms of neuromuscular adaptation of muscle thigh after ACL surgery.

Detailed description

The aim of this study is to assess the qualitative and quantitative variations of the strength, work and fatigue of the thigh muscles after ACL surgery. The reference is the preoperative assessment (V1), the variation is measured on V2 (measurements at 3 months) and V3 (measures at 9 months). Each patient is his own control. In addition, a control group of healthy subjects is used to determine level of significance of each parameter.
