Athletes with a History of ACL Reconstruction Exhibit Greater Inter-Limb Asymmetry in Impact Forces During the First Landing of a Drop Vertical Jump Compared to the Second Landing.
Journal of Electromyography and Kinesiology 2023 October
The primary objective of this study was to examine the degree of inter-limb asymmetry in impact force magnitudes and rates during the first and second landings of a drop vertical jump in adolescent athletes with a history of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. We also compared the degree of asymmetry exhibited by the athletes who had undergone ACL reconstruction to a group of uninjured athletes. This study included 14 athletes who had undergone ACL reconstruction and 28 uninjured athletes, matched for age, sex, and sport. All athletes completed a double-leg drop vertical jump task. Peak vertical ground reaction forces (vGRFs) and loading rates were examined for both limbs during the first and second landings of the drop vertical jump. For the athletes who had undergone ACL reconstruction, peak vGRFs were 11.9% greater for the uninvolved limb vs. the involved limb during the first landing; however, peak vGRFs were only 2.4% greater for the uninvolved limb (vs. the involved limb) during the second landing. The athletes who had undergone ACL reconstruction exhibited greater asymmetry in peak vGRFs for the first landing compared to the uninjured athletes; however, there was no difference between the groups (ACL reconstruction, uninjured) for the second landing.
