Strength Asymmetry and Landing Mechanics After ACLR (ptpodcast.com)

• Quadriceps strength asymmetry after ACLR is linked to altered landing mechanics.
• Asymmetry increases the risk of second injury.
• Targeted strength training can help restore symmetry.

"This podcast episode discusses the link between quadriceps strength asymmetry and landing mechanics in patients after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Lead researcher Laura Schmitt from Ohio State University explains how asymmetry may increase second injury risk and what clinicians can do about it."
