Exploratory EEG-TMS Study Reveals Altered Behavioral Function in Individuals Following Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction
Lower TEP amplitude at ROI1 implies neural inhibition in the motor cortex, while heightened MET in ACLR suggests greater corticospinal excitability. Neural adaptations in the corticospinal tract in ACLR patients may contribute to excessive quadriceps activation in response to unanticipated stimuli, potentially increasing the risk of re-injury.
