Electromyographic examination of knee training using a hybrid assistive limb after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: A case report.

ABSTRACT: Muscle co-contraction can result in higher joint contact forces, compromising knee joint mobility for stability, thus leading to impaired lower extremity neuromuscular control, delayed return to sports, and increased incidence of secondary anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury post-ACL reconstruction. Hybrid assistive limb (HAL) training has the potential to correct impairment of antagonistic or synergistic muscle movement of the knee joint through bioelectric signal feedback from muscle signals with computer processing. We considered that HAL training would contribute to improve peak muscle torque through coordinating or decreasing higher levels of muscle co-contractions and reducing differences between hamstring and quadriceps muscle activity on electromyography (EMG).
