Lower Extremity Reaction Time in Individuals With Contact Versus Noncontact Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries After Reconstruction.

ABSTRACT:

Context

Deficits in perceptual-motor function, like visuomotor reaction time (VMRT), are risk factors for primary and secondary anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. Noncontact ACL injuries have been associated with slower reaction time, but whether this association exists for patients with contact ACL injuries is unknown. Exploring differences in VMRT among individuals with contact versus noncontact ACL injuries may provide a more comprehensive understanding of modifiable risk factors.

Objective

To compare lower extremity VMRT (LEVMRT) in individuals with contact or noncontact ACL injuries after ACL reconstruction (ACLR).

Design

Cross-sectional study.

Setting

Research laboratory.

Patients or other participants

A total of 36 participants with primary,
