Knee vs. Ankle Training on Knee Mechanics After ACLR

Crossover Effect of Knee and Ankle Joint Training on Knee Mechanics After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: A Randomized Controlled Trial

This study will be conducted to investigate if there is any difference between starting rehabilitation program after ACL reconstruction with knee joint training followed by ankle joint training and starting it with ankle joint training followed by knee joint training (crossover effect) on gait parameters of the knee joint.

Inclusion Criteria:

• ACL reconstruction with a hamstring tendon autograft participated in this study.
• Score 7 on Tegner activity scale.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients with bilateral knee injury
• History of surgery or traumatic injury to the uninvolved lower extremity or to the hip or ankle of the involved lower extremity
• History of ACL reconstruction on the ipsilateral side and other knee ligament injuries requiring surgery.
