Abstract

The article informs about the differences in quadriceps and hamstrings activation during repeated hops among athletes who underwent ACL reconstruction, emphasizing the need for nuanced assessment methods to detect these differences and ensure proper rehabilitation. Topics include the challenges athletes face after ACL reconstruction, the use of surface electromyography (SEMG) for neuromuscular analysis, and the importance of timing and magnitude of muscle activation in rehabilitation protocols.
