Neuromuscular Training for Rehabilitation of Sports Injuries: A Systematic Review
Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise, 09/25/09
Zech A et al. – From this review, it can be concluded that proprioceptive and neuromuscular interventions after ankle and knee joint injuries can be effective for the prevention of recurrent injuries and the improvement of joint functionality.
Methods- Two independent reviewers performed a literature search in various databases and reference lists of articles.
- Data of included trials were then extracted, and methodological quality was assessed by using predetermined forms.
- 15 trials met the inclusion criteria.
- Proprioceptive and neuromuscular training (PT/NT) was effective at increasing functionality as well as at decreasing the incidence of recurrent injuries and "giving way" episodes after ankle sprains and in conservative treatment of anterior cruciate ligament injuries.
- However, conflicting results or no efficacy of training were reported for static postural control, joint position sense, neuromuscular control, joint laxity, and lower extremity strength.
- No study that examined PT/NT after shoulder injuries was found.
