Abstract

Abstract:

The anterior cruciate ligament is one of the important ligaments to maintain the stability of the knee joint. Anterior cruciate ligament injury can seriously affect the stability and function of the knee joint. At present, the diagnosis and treatment of anterior cruciate ligament injury have became more and more streamlined and formalized, but the prognosis of patients often differs greatly. This article reviewed the effects of quadriceps femoris on rehabilitation in patients undergoing anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, as well as the causes of muscle atrophy and recovery strategies.

Key words: Anterior cruciate ligament, Wounds and injuries, Rehabilitation, Quadriceps muscle, Atrophy
