Cortical Motor Planning and Biomechanical Stability During Unplanned Jump Landings in Men With Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction.

ABSTRACT:

Context

Athletes with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR) exhibit increased cortical motor planning during simple sensorimotor tasks compared with healthy athletes serving as control groups. This may interfere with proper decision making during time-constrained movements, elevating the reinjury risk.

Objective

To compare cortical motor planning and biomechanical stability during jump landings between participants with ACLR and healthy individuals.

Design

Cross-sectional study.

Setting

Laboratory.

Patients or other participants

Ten men with ACLR (age = 28 ± 4 years, time after surgery = 63 ± 35 months) and 17 healthy men (age = 28 ± 4 years) completed 43 ± 4 preplanned (landing leg shown before takeoff) and 51 ± 5 unplanned (visual cue
