Abstract
|
|
|
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of functional performance tests in return to sports after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. We performed some
tests on 39 male who underwent anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction at our institution(all subjects were tested at minimum of 24 months after reconstruction) such as one-legged
hop test for distance, total functional performance test (Co-contraction test, Carioca test, Shuttle run test), KT-2000 test and isokinetic test by Biodex(System Hill USA). Lysholm knee score, Tegner activity score, and IKDC scores were also investigated. One-legged hop test for distance was compared with unaffected leg, the result of combination of the functional performance tests were compared with that of normal male adults. The results of all tests and scores were compared with that of total functional performance test. The results of total functional performance test of subjects were lower than those of normal male adults and there were significant relationship statistically. The results of one-legged hop test for distance of ACL reconstructed knees were lower than that of unaffected knees. Lysholm knee score, IKDC
score, one-legged hop test for distance and isokinetic test had significant correlation with the total functionl performance tests statistically. Whereas Tegner activity score, KT-2000 test
had no significant correlation. Returning to sports activity after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction may be predicted with the result of total functional performance tests.
