There is loss of both stability and proprioception in the knee following an injury to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL).The afferent nerves responsible for proprioception arise from the ligaments, capsule, surrounding mus- cles and skin, activating muscle contraction, which may be assumed to help stabilise the injuries, including ACL tears, are likely to disrupt this process. Loss of proprioception following an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury has been well documented.
