简要总结
This single-blind, randomized controlled trial aims to investigate the effects of dry needling on neuromuscular control in individuals with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction during a single-leg vertical drop landing task. Participants in the intervention group will receive dry needling, while those in the control group will not receive any therapeutic intervention.
The main research question is:
• Can dry needling induce changes in muscle activation, co-contraction magnitude, and biomechanical parameters during landing?
