Abstract
Bryant AL, Creaby MW, Newton RU, Steele JR. Dynamic restraint capacity of the hamstring muscles has important functional implications after anterior cruciate ligament injury and anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relation between knee functionality of anterior cruciate ligament deficient (ACLD) and anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) patients and hamstring antagonist torque generated during resisted knee extension. Design: Cross-sectional. Setting: Laboratory based. Participants: Male ACLD subjects (n=10) (18-35y) and 27 matched males who had undergone ACLR (14 patella tendon [PT] grafts and 13 combined semitend..
