- Soccer players after ACL reconstruction (ACLR) show altered cutting techniques compared to healthy matched controls.
- Biomechanical differences include greater peak hip flexion, knee valgus, and reduced knee flexion during unplanned tasks.
- ACLR players exhibit reduced lower limb flexion range of motion (ROM) but increased pelvis and trunk flexion ROM.
- The study highlights ongoing movement deficits in players post-RTS clearance, indicating potential injury risk.
