Training the cognitive aspects of movement during rehab

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury leads to a series of joint, spinal and cortical alterations resulting in a change in stability and sensorimotor function.

The sensorimotor cortex plays a central role in movement control and planning by integrating incoming information from sensory pathways and generating action potentials to initiate muscle contractions for motor tasks[1]. The sensorimotor system, particularly through proprioceptive, kinesthetic, vestibular, auditory, and visual systems, enables athletes to scan, identify, and filter external stimuli to perform precise motor actions...
