CHPS RESEARCH STUDIES
Physiology of Force Control in Uninjured Adults
The purpose of this study is to understand how anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) affects thigh muscle force control and the underlying physiology. To do this, we first need to understand how the neuromuscular system regulates force control in those without history of ACLR.
Participation consists of a single, approximately 90-minute session, consisting of musculoskeletal ultrasound imaging and tests of thigh muscle strength and activity. Upon completion of the study session, participants will be compensated in the form of a $20 Amazon gift card.
Inclusion Qualifications:
- Age of 18-35 years
- No history of lower limb surgery
- No history of significant lower limb injury (defined as seeking medical attention) within the last 2 years
Exclusion Qualifications:
You may not participate in this research opportunity if any of the following applies to you:- Current infection on lower limb
- Known or diagnosed muscular abnormalities
- History of cardiopulmonary disorder
- History of neurological disorder (e.g., stroke, epilepsy, neuropathy)
- History of thigh muscle strain
