Effect of Altered Mechanical Loading in ACLR
17. april 2017 oppdatert av: University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
Effect of Altered Mechanical Loading on Lower Extremity Biomechanics and Biochemical Markers in Individuals With an Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction
Altered loading is a causative factor for the development of knee osteoarthritis following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR), and real-time biofeedback may be an effective intervention to manipulate altered mechanical loading about the knee.
The purpose of this study is to 1) determine if ACLR participants are able to acquire and retain various loading patterns using real-time biofeedback, 2) determine the effect of altered loading on lower extremity biomechanics during walking gait, and 3) determine the effect of altered loading on biochemical markers of collagen turnover and inflammation during walking gait.

Detaljert beskrivelse
Participants will attend 4 testing sessions.
Lower extremity biomechanical outcomes and blood samples will be taken before and following the participant walking at a self-selected speed for 20 minutes.
During the 20 minutes of treadmill walking real-time biofeedback will be displayed in an attempt to alter mechanical loading.
Participants will complete a control, overloading, under-loading, average loading testing session.
Order of loading condition will be randomized.

Beskrivelse
Inclusion Criteria:
- Have a history of a primary, unilateral ACLR using either a hamstring or patellar tendon autograft, cleared by a physical for full return to physical activity with no limitations, and participate in at least 30 minutes of physical activity 3 times per week
Exclusion Criteria:
- History of injury to either leg, other than ACLR (e.g. ankle sprain, muscle strain), within 6 months prior to participation in the study, history of lower extremity surgery other than ACLR, history of osteoarthritis or current symptoms related to knee osteoarthritis (e.g. pain, swelling, stiffness), currently pregnant, or planning to become pregnant while enrolled in the study, cardiovascular restrictions that limit the participant's ability to participate in physical activity.

Våpen og intervensjoner
Deltakergruppe / Arm |
Intervensjon / Behandling |
|---|---|
|
Eksperimentell: Overloading
Participants will walk on a force-instrumented treadmill for 20 minutes and will be provided visual biofeedback consisting of bilateral vertical ground reaction force.
A target will be placed at 10% greater than the participant's baseline vertical ground reaction force.
Participants will be asked to alter their walking gait in an attempt to reach the target line with each step.
|
A custom written MatLab script will sample bilateral peak vertical ground reaction forces and display the magnitude in real time on a screen placed in front of the participant.
A target line will be placed in the middle of the screen which corresponds to one of the three loading conditions.
Participants will be instructed to alter their movement in an attempt to match each limb's vertical ground reaction force to the target line.

Eksperimentell: Underloading
Participants will walk on a force-instrumented treadmill for 20 minutes and will be provided visual biofeedback consisting of bilateral vertical ground reaction force.
A target will be placed at 10% lower than the participant's baseline vertical ground reaction force.
Participants will be asked to alter their walking gait in an attempt to reach the target line with each step.

|
Eksperimentell: Average
Participants will walk on a force-instrumented treadmill for 20 minutes and will be provided visual biofeedback consisting of bilateral vertical ground reaction force.
A target will be placed at the average of each participant's baseline vertical ground reaction force between limbs.
Participants will be asked to alter their walking gait in an attempt to reach the target line with each step.
