ZATTERSTROM R; FRIDEN T; LINDSTRAND A
AM J SPORTS MED , 1994, vol. 22, n° 4, p. 531-536 Doc n°: 67071 Localisation : Bibliothèque Universitaire de Médecine de Nancy Descripteurs : DF1 - EQUILIBRATION Body sway movements in the frontal plane in a single-limbed stance test were used to assess postural control in 26 patients with chronic anterior cruciate ligament insufficiency. The injured and the noninjured legs were tested before the patients were committed to physiotherapy for 3 to 6 months. Follow-up tests were made after 3, 12, and 36 months. Significant disturbance of the balance of both legs was found before training, compared with a reference group of normal subjects. Values of the noninjured leg were normalized after 3 months of training, but the injured leg still showed an increased body sway. Normal balance parameters on the injured side were found at examination after 12 months. Follow-up examination after 36 months proved persistent normalization of the single-limbed balance on both sides. Langue : ANGLAIS Tiré à part : OUI Identifiant basis : 1994002116 |
