  1. 1. Does attentional focus influence performance and motor control on a gross motor task performed with the legs among healthy individuals and individuals with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction? : A within subject design pilot study

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för samhällsmedicin och rehabilitering

    Author : Leon Haegerström; Jens Jakobsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Attentional focus; External focus; Internal focus; Motor contor; Motor performance; Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction;

    Abstract : Background: Evidence indicates that an external focus (EF) of attention on the intended effect of one’s movement results in better motor performance and motor control than an internal focus (IF) on one’s own body. Despite this, an IF is predominantly encouraged through instructions and feedback provided by clinicians during sports and rehabilitation from injuries such as anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury.
