Korea University Anam Hospital Sports Medicine Center Wins Outstanding Leadership Award of Korea Sports Medicine Association
Oct 21, 2025
A research team at Korea University Anam Hospital Sports Medicine Center (Jang Ki-mo, Lee Jin-hyuk) won the Excellence Award at the 67th Autumn Academic Conference of the Korean Sports Medicine Association held at Parktel in Seoul from the 18th to the 19th.
The research team published a 'Effect of muscle fatigue in the quadriceps of the femoral after the first anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction on the recovery of the level of sports activity before and after injury: a two-year follow-up comparative study'. The study drew great attention for identifying the relationship between femoral head muscle fatigue, single-legged jump distance (SLHD), and IKDC indicators that subjectively assess their knee function as key indicators for predicting a return to sports two years after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR).
Jang Ki-mo, director of the center, said, "This achievement provides a basis for establishing a guide to predictability of actual return to sports by considering not only maximum muscle strength, but also muscle strength, functional jump performance, and knee function experienced by patients themselves. It is necessary to systematically strengthen training for quadriceps muscle endurance and neuromuscular muscle control in sports rehabilitation sites."," he stressed.
Dr. Lee Jin-hyuk added that "Applying a multi-faceted evaluation system including muscle fatigue, SLHD, and IKDC to the return judgment and training design will provide a safer and more efficient return roadmap for both athletes and general patients."
Meanwhile, the results of this study will be published in the international journal of orthopedic surgery and sports medicine 'Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine'.
