Recent Advances in Prevention of Primary and Secondary Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury: What Does the Future Hold for Optimizing Knee-Joint Function?

Sandra J. Shultz and Randy J. Schmitz

addressed neuromuscular interventions that manipulated the focus of attention. During single-leg landings, ACLR patients who were instructed to land using an external-focus approach had greater knee-flexion angles at initial contact and greater peak knee flexion, total range of motion, and time to peak knee
