Hip and Knee Kinematics and Kinetics During Landing Tasks After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE:  To evaluate the current evidence concerning kinematic and kinetic strategies adopted during dynamic landing tasks by patients with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). DATA SOURCES:  PubMed, Web of Science. STUDY SELECTION:  Original research articles that evaluated kinematics or kinetics (or both) during a landing task in those with a history of ACLR were included. DATA EXTRACTION:  Methodologic quality was assessed using the modified Downs and Black checklist. Means and standard deviations for knee or hip (or both) kinematics and kinetics were used to calculate Cohen d effect sizes and corresponding 95% confidence intervals between the injured limb of ACLR participants and contralateral or healthy matched limbs. Data were further stratified by landing tasks, eith
