2) The paper said that it is likely that the post-op atrophy might affect more of the Type-II fibres...just thinking if that means that we should focus more on hypertrophy work on the type-II fibres to minimise the asymmetry (in terms of muscle size) post op. But in saying that, given that type-II fibres get recruited anyway as long as one approaches proximity to failure on any given exercise, so rep ranges don't really matter (for the purposes of hypertrophy), though the argument can be made that for efficiency of time and the purposes of strength, lower rep work is better suited in such a scenario. ]]> 2020-05-22 11:59:18 UTC https://padlet.com/audkwan/ACLquads/wish/588810169 xinlekoh https://padlet.com/audkwan/ACLquads/wish/589997064 1) At 4 week post-operative findings:preoperative factor better isometric endurance time ->lesser muscle volume losspostoperative factorgreater knee extension ROM deficit -> greater muscle loss

2) QF weakness posoperative is attribute by -muscle atrophy which accounts for 46%-changes in volitional muscle activation of the muscle mass which accounts for 54% ]]> 2020-05-23 04:34:13 UTC https://padlet.com/audkwan/ACLquads/wish/589997064 https://padlet.com/audkwan/ACLquads/wish/591266062 It seems that pre-operatively, strengthening of the QF is only so-so effective (to a certain extent) to minimize atrophy of the quads after op. So is it necessary to do such a pre-op strengthening exercise if its just gonna atrophy in the end and likely start back from (almost) scratch? Maybe perhaps to maintain some muscle mass is understood... but to really strengthen it up only for it to atrophy a significant amount after operation.... Consider strengthening the whole lower limb kinetic chain and not too much focus on just the quads? Maybe only the  post-op rehab is essential and the prehab is not?

1. Arthrogenic Muscle Inhibition - Swelling
- Pain
- Range

2. Atrophy of Type II Fibres - Work with high load with lower rep range?

3. Volitational Activation of QF
