Abstract:

Objective To analyze the research hotspots and development trends regarding the effect of proprioceptive training in the rehabilitation of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury.

Methods Relevant literatures on the effect of proprioceptive training on ACL injury rehabilitation were retrieved in the Web of Science Core Collection database from 2015 to 2024, and were analyzed with CiteSpace 6.2 R4.

Results A total of 108 articles were included, with a fluctuating trend in publication volume, and the number of publications peaked in 2021. The United States and China published the most articles. High-frequency keywords included posture balance, neuromuscular control, joint position sense, muscle strength and gait analysis. The most central keyword was posture stability. The research focused on improving the postoperative rehabilitation outcomes and efficiency of ACL injury, with particular emphasis on returning to play, posture stability, strength training and knee joint function.

Conclusion Proprioceptive training can enhance proprioception and motor control of patients with ACL injury and improve rehabilitation outcomes by strengthening rehabilitation techniques and optimizing treatment approaches. Future research should continue to focus on the diversification of proprioceptive training, the individulization of rehabilitation plans and the application of new technologies.

Key words: anterior cruciate ligament injury, proprioception training, bibliometrics
