Title of your Abstract : Evaluation of the Knee Proprioception and Muscle Activation in Non-contact ACL Injury Risk Position
Destination Country : Switzerland
From : Friday, November 20, 2015
To : Saturday, November 21, 2015
Abstract(Please copy/paste the abstract send to the congress) : Introduction:
The majority of ACL injuries occur with a non-contact mechanism. One of the most common position of 
non-contact ACL injury is dynamic knee valgus. Poor proprioception and neuromuscular control may induce greater 
knee abduction, which is thought to be a risk factor for ACL injury. No study has measured joint position sense and 
muscle activation of the knee in a manner relevant to the mechanism of injury. Therefore, the aim of this study is to 
measure knee joint position sense and muscle activation in non-contact ACL injury risk position and normal 
condition.
Materials & Methods:
20 patients who had undergone ACL reconstruction and 20 healthy control subjects participated in the 
study. JPS was evaluated by reproduction of the angles and EMG recordings were employed to measure of knee 
muscles activation in non-contact ACL injury risk position and normal condition. The dominant-limb knee of healthy 
subjects and reconstructed and non-operated knees of the patients were selected for evaluation.
Results:
The results showed less accurate knee joint position sense in non-contact ACL injury risk position, rather 
than normal condition in the dominant-limb knee of healthy subjects and reconstructed and non-operated knees of 
the patients. EMG results demonstrated increased VM, VL and LH activation and decreased medial-to-lateral 
hamstring ratio in risk position compared to normal position in the dominant-limb knee of healthy subjects and 
reconstructed and non-operated knees of the patients.
Conclusion:
The results of this study suggest that poor neuromuscular control in non-contact ACL injury risk position compared 
with normal condition may contribute to the increased incidence of anterior cruciate ligament injury.

Your experiences about the travel processes(Providing ticket, accommodation,...) : No problem, i have a good trip and everything was ok
Please give a briefing of your own observations and outcomes of the congress: : The aim of the conference is to present the current evidence on RTP criteria and guidelines in different areas, where sports physiotherapy plays a major role in helping athletes to come back to highest level after injury or surgery.
Return to play refers to the point in recovery from an injury when a person is able to go back to playing sports or participate in an activity at a preinjury level.
No one likes to be sidelined with an injury. One of the goals of sport physical therapy is to try to get an athlete back into action as soon as possible. Returning too soon, before adequate healing or recovery has taken place, can put you at risk for reinjury and possibly an even longer down time.
