Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Sports Medicine
  • Rehabilitation Science

Background:

  • Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) requires optimized functional recovery for improved patient outcomes.
  • Hamstring muscle function deficits post-ACLR are linked to osteoarthritis, altered movement, and re-injury.
  • Effective rehabilitation strategies are needed to address hamstring deficits, especially with ipsilateral hamstring autografts.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To discuss hamstring function deficits following ACLR.
  • To outline considerations for restoring hamstring function.
  • To align hamstring recovery strategies with the overall ACLR functional rehabilitation process.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review and synthesis of current research on hamstring function after ACLR.
  • Analysis of factors influencing hamstring recovery, including strength types and programming.
  • Discussion of exercise selection and application for ACLR athletes.

Main Results:

  • Significant hamstring function deficits commonly occur after ACLR.
  • Restoring maximal, explosive, and multiplanar hamstring strength is essential.
  • A periodized resistance training program with appropriate exercise selection is recommended.

Conclusions:

  • Addressing hamstring deficits is a critical component of ACLR rehabilitation.
  • Evidence-based strategies are necessary to guide the training of hamstrings in ACLR patients.
  • This paper provides recommendations for optimizing hamstring recovery post-ACLR to enhance functional outcomes.
