Implication

Cross-sectional study finds dual-task conditions worsen postural stability in ACLR patients, suggesting new rehabilitation strategies.

Key Points

  • Greater postural sway was observed in individuals post-ACLR compared to healthy controls across all cognitive tasks, emphasizing the rehabilitation challenge.
  • Cognitive performance deteriorated in the ACLR group, with increased errors noted across all conditions, suggesting a complex interplay between cognitive tasks and stability.
  • The Stroop Color–Word Test, an executive function task, significantly increased sway velocity in the ACLR group, indicating heightened vulnerability under cognitive load.
  • Findings underscore the need for incorporating cognitive–postural training in rehabilitation protocols for individuals recovering from ACL reconstruction.
