Not Applicable
Completed
- Conditions
- Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction
- Registration Number
- NCT07032623
- Lead Sponsor
- Universidad Rey Juan Carlos
- Brief Summary
This single-blind, randomized controlled trial aims to investigate the effects of spinal manipulation on neuromuscular control in individuals with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction during a single-leg vertical drop landing task. The intervention group will receive spinal manipulation, while the control group will not receive any therapeutic intervention. The main question it aims to answer is:
• Can spinal manipulation induce changes in muscle activation, co-contraction magnitude, and biomechanical parameters during landing?
