ACL Injury? Applied Neuromechanics Lab looking for study participants

Do you have an ACL injury?

The Applied Neuromechanics Lab is requesting participants for a study examining cognitive function and lower extremity biomechanics following an ACL injury and reconstruction. Participants must be between the age of 18 and 35 and have sustained one ACL tear and surgical reconstruction.

Participants will be excluded if they are currently injured, have had a serious injury within the last year, or have had a previous surgery to their back or lower extremity (aside from reconstruction). Individuals will be asked to perform a battery of cognitive tests, an angle matching task and visuomotor adaptation. Testing will be completed in one visit and is expected to take roughly two and a half hours. For more information, contact Amanda Stone at stonaman@ufl.edu.
