Better and Safer Return to Sport

Anterior Cruciate Ligament InjuriesSport Injury

A prospective cohort design will be used to assess differences in outcomes between pivoting sport athletes with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) who follow usual care and those who follow a treatment algorithm with a RTS and rehabilitation tool. Athletes aged 15-40 at injury with primary ACLR who express a goal to return to sports with frequent pivoting are eligible. The RTS and rehabilitation tool includes standardized clinical, functional and muscle strength testing 6, 8, 10, and 12 months after surgery. Individual test results guide progression in sports participation and the content of further rehabilitation according to a standardized algorithm.

The Pediatric ALL Evaluation and Trial

ACL InjuryACL Tear

The overall aim of this multicenter RCT is to determine whether concomitant ALL reconstruction in children undergoing and ACL reconstruction will longitudinally result in a lower rate of graft failure than ACL reconstruction alone.

Prolonged Preoperative Rehabilitation in ACL Rupture.

Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries

Rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament is a serious and common injury. In young athletes, surgical reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament by autograft with hamstrings or patellar ligament is widely used. Despite relatively standardized medical, surgical, and paramedical management, the results after ACL ligamentoplasty are not entirely satisfactory in term of return to sport. Recovery of the quadriceps strength is recognized as one of the decision-making criteria allowing the return to sport; however, significant muscle deficits are frequent at the time of return to sport. If the postoperative management is well codified, focused on muscle strengthening and neuromuscular retraining, some studies have addressed the value of preoperative rehabilitation, and recommend a good preoperative muscular recovery of knee extensors and flexors, to obtain better postoperative results at the stage of the return to sports. These results suggest that preoperative quadriceps strength should be considered as a predictor of the athletes' ability to return to sport activities. It is estimated that around 10 to 30% of patients with preoperative deficits and could benefit from additional rehabilitation. It can then be assumed that if the preoperative deficit is smaller, the postoperative deficit will also be smaller. This is the challenge of preoperative rehabilitation. There are a few studies on preoperative rehabilitation which allow a gain in strength of knee extensors and flexors. However, the rehabilitation protocols applied to patients highly varied and there is no consensus on one protocol. The potential improvement is in the range of 10 to 20%. The hypothesis of the study is that an optimal recovery of the strength of the preoperative knee extensors and flexors would reduce the postoperative deficit, thus improving the return to sport. In the absence of reliable information on the frequency of muscle weakness in preoperative patients, we will conduct a preliminary study to obtain these data as well as the potential gain in strength with our preoperative rehabilitation protocol.

External Focus of Attention Posttraumatic Osteoarthritis

Anterior Cruciate Ligament InjuriesAnterior Cruciate Ligament Rupture2 more

Knee injuries, especially those to the ACL, are common among physically active people. These injuries are frequently treated with surgical reconstruction (ACL reconstruction; ACLR). While ACLR restores stability it does not protect against future injury, long-term pain, disability, and arthritis associated with these injuries. Our study is going to examine new ways to provide feedback about the way people move to determine if these are better at modifying movement patterns that are known risk factors of posttraumatic osteoarthritis development than current standard treatments. If you participate, you will be asked to undergo a movement analysis in a research laboratory while you perform tasks such as walking and hopping. After this initial assessment, you will be randomly allocated to one of 2 treatment groups. Each treatment group will perform 4 weeks (3x/week) of exercises to change the way people walk. Participants will then report for follow-up movement analysis testing 1- and 4-weeks after completing the intervention.

Gait Rehabilitation to Treat FastOA

Anterior Cruciate Ligament InjuriesPost-traumatic Osteoarthritis6 more

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of real-time gait biofeedback delivered over a 6-week period on early markers of FastOA and conduct 6-week and 6-month follow-up assessments in anterior cruciate ligament reconstructed patients.

Biologic Augmentation With Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Patients Undergoing Anterior Cruciate Ligament...

Anterior Cruciate Ligament InjuryAnterior Cruciate Ligament Rupture

This study will evaluate the efficacy of biologic augmentation of ACL reconstruction with bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells as measured by magnetic resonance imaging to detect graft healing and integration. Secondary endpoints will include validated patient reported outcome measures, as well as functional outcome using objective examination findings.

Making Football Safer for Women: Implementing an Injury Prevention Program

Anterior Cruciate Ligament InjuriesConcussion2 more

The aim of this study is to determine how we can best support coaches to implement an injury prevention (IP) program (Prep-to-Play) in female community Australian Football. We will recruit at least 140 female community football teams from 15 different football leagues in Victoria, Australia. Teams will be competing in U16, U17, U18, U19 or open womens competitions. We will train and support coaches to implement the IP program and evaluate the effects of the IP program on injuries across two football seasons.

Neuroplastic Mechanisms Underlying Augmented Neuromuscular Training

Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries

The purpose of this proposal is to determine the neural mechanisms of augmented neuromuscular training (aNMT). Participants will complete a 6-week course of neuromuscular training with either aNMT biofeedback or sham biofeedback. An MRI will be performed before and after the training program.

PRP in ACLR to Prevent PTOA

Anterior Cruciate Ligament InjuriesPost-traumatic Osteoarthritis1 more

The purpose of our study is to examine the effect of platelet-rich-plasma (PRP) injection on the short-term resolution of post-injury inflammation (biomarkers) and improvement in joint function in patients with acute ACL injury. This RCT has been powered based on the questionnaire KOOS Jr. but it is considered a 'pilot study' in terms of the lab analysis proposed.
