Effects of amino acid supplementation on muscle mass, muscle performance and functional capacity in subjects undergoing total knee arthroplasty: a systematic review of randomized clinical trials.
Eur J Orthop Surg Traumatol

The aim of the present study was to summarize the effectiveness of amino acid supplementation on muscle strength, muscle volume, and functional capacity in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty. For this, in November 2022, a search was carried out in the PubMed, Cochrane Library, and EMBASE databases, identifying a total of 2182 documents, of which only 4 were included in the present review. The included studies had 148 participants (47 men and 101 women), with a minimum age of 53 and a maximum of 92 years, and supplementation times of 13 to 30 days (1 to 3 times a day).

- The study aimed to compare peak extensor torque, sensory-motor capacity, and Lysholm questionnaire scores after ACL reconstruction using either an ipsilateral (same leg) or contralateral (opposite leg) technique in young athletes.
- A randomized controlled trial with 88 male patients revealed that the contralateral technique significantly improved peak extension torque and resulted in better symmetry in muscle performance compared to the ipsilateral technique.
- The findings indicated that using a contralateral BPTB graft was more effective for enhancing muscle performance post-surgery, although no significant differences were found in sensory-motor capacity or Lysholm scores between the two groups.
Background: Lower limb muscle strength symmetry has been suggested as an essential criterion for the safe return to sports after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Limited evidence is available regarding the most effective intervention to achieve symmetry after reconstruction with contralateral bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTB) graft.
Purpose: To verify whether unilateral isotonic resistance exercise is more effective than bilateral exercise for obtaining postoperative functional and muscular strength symmetry between the donor limb and reconstructed limb for patients who received BPTB graft.
Effects of proprioceptive exercises and strengthening on pain and functionality for patellofemoral pain syndrome in women: A randomized controlled trial.

Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of resisted and proprioceptive exercises in treating women with patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) compared to a guidance-based approach.
- Sixty female participants were divided into an exercise group, which followed a six-week exercise regimen, and a guidance group that received educational support.
- Results showed that the exercise group experienced significant reductions in pain and improvements in knee strength and function, outperforming the guidance group, except for hip lateral rotator strength, which showed no significant differences.
