Using a target as external focus of attention results in a better jump-landing technique in patients after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction – A cross-over study

Improving jump-landing technique during rehabilitation is important and may be achieved through different feedback techniques, i.e., internal focus of attention (IF) or external focus of attention using a target (EF). However, there is a lack of evidence on the most effective feedback technique after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). The purpose of this study was to investigate the potential difference in jump-landing techniques between IF and EF instructions in patients after ACLR.
