PURPOSE: After an ACL reconstruction, patients demonstrate aberrant biomechanics when they return to sport. These aberrant biomechanics lead to joint degeneration, second[...]

Context: Chronic Ankle Instability is a condition that has continued to be a problem in athletes. Additional rehabilitation protocols are still being evaluated to allev[...]

Introduction: Clear postural deficits and impairments throughout the gait cycle have been shown in chronic ankle instability (CAI) patients. The potential causes for the[...]

Individuals with chronic ankle instability (CAI) often demonstrate abnormal biomechanical patterns which may be associated with the onset of posttraumatic osteoarthritis [...]

Introduction: More than 150,000 people each year undergo anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR) and associated rehabilitation in hopes of restoring knee j[...]

INTRODUCTION: Arterial stiffness (AS) is a prevalent condition associated with increased risk of cardiovascular (CV) complications. Research has shown structural changes [...]

Introduction: Gait impairments, notably reduced knee flexion angle and external knee flexion moment, are common following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR)[...]

Patients with chronic ankle instability (CAI) exhibit a wide variety of sensorimotor deficits. These include impairments in feed-forward sensorimotor control (i.e. motor [...]
