The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the impact of ACL injury and ACL reconstruction on voluntary activation during maximal voluntary contraction (measured by neurophysiological parameters) according to the contraction mode.
The goal is to provide elements of knowledge to clinicians about the mechanisms of the activation failure depending on contraction mode, but also the resulting adapted clinical recommendations for conducting rehabilitation, and particularly for the use of different contraction modes.
The main hypothesis is that activation failure is not equal according to the contraction mode during maximal voluntary contractions and neurophysiological parameters will be decreased in comparison with non-injured subjects.
Secondary objectives are:

The study population will comprise both male and female subjects, divided into three groups. The first group will consist of 20 subjects with isolated (only ACL rupture) or non-isolated ACL rupture (rupture associated with other knee lesion), treated with rehabilitation. The second group will include 20 subjects with ACL rupture, treated with surgery and rehabilitation. A third control group will also be included.
