Between-limb symmetry in ACL and tibiofemoral contact forces in athletes after ACL reconstruction and clearance for return to sport
Kotsifaki, Argyro; Van Rossom, Sam; Whiteley, Rod; Korakakis, Vasileios; Bahr, Roald; D’Hooghe, Pieter; Papakostas, Emmanuel; Sideris, Vasileios; Farooq, Abdulaziz; Jonkers, Ilse (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Background: Current return-to-sport (RTS) criteria after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR) include demonstrating symmetry in functional and strength tests. It remains unknown if at the time that athletes ... -
Single leg hop for distance symmetry masks lower limb biomechanics: time to discuss hop distance as decision criterion for return to sport after ACL reconstruction?
Kotsifaki, Argyro; Whiteley, Rod; van Rossom, Sam; Korakakis, Vasileios; Bahr, Roald; Sideris, Vasileios; Graham-Smith, Philip; Jonkers, Ilse (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Background: We evaluated the lower limb status of athletes after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) during the propulsion and landing phases of a single leg hop for distance (SLHD) task after they had been ... -
Single leg vertical jump performance identifies knee function deficits at return to sport after ACL reconstruction in male athletes
Kotsifaki, Argyro; Van Rossom, Sam; Whiteley, Rod; Korakakis, Vasileios; Bahr, Roald; Sideris, Vasileios; Jonkers, Ilse (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Objectives: Vertical jump performance (height) is a more representative metric for knee function than horizontal hop performance (distance) in healthy individuals. It is not known what the biomechanical status of athletes ... -
Symmetry in Triple Hop Distance Hides Asymmetries in Knee Function After ACL Reconstruction in Athletes at Return to Sports
Kotsifaki, Argyro; van Rossom, Sam; Whiteley, Rodney; Korakakis, Vasileios; Bahr, Roald; Sideris, Vasileios; Smith, Philip Graham; Jonkers, Ilse (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Background: After anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR), a battery of strength and hop tests is frequently used to determine the readiness of an athlete to successfully return to sports. However, the anterior ...
