original publication.
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
A comprehensive rehabilitation program with quadriceps strengthening in closed versus open kinetic chain exercise in patients with anterior cruciate ligament deficiency: A randomized clinical trial evaluating dynamic tibial translation and muscle function
Am J Sports Med. 2008 Feb;36(2):298-30742 patients suffering from ACL deficiencies were enrolled in this randomized trial to examine the effects of additional strength exercises to a standard rehabilitation program on leg strength and stability. Patients were randomized to receive either additional open kinetic or closed kinetic chain (OKC, CKC) exercises in combination with a standard therapy. As hypothesized, following the 4 month rehabilitation program, there was a significant increase in quadriceps strength in the OKC group when compared to the CKC.
