Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The level of functional performance of the subjects' lower limbs was measured using the one-legged one-hop test, the one-legged three-hop test, and the 6-meter one-legged hop test before and after the test | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The secondary outcome measures were assessed before and after the test: 1. Knee muscle strength was measured using a Hoggan handheld dynamometer and the IseMed isometric force measurement system 2. Balance function was measured using a Y balance tester 3. Overall knee function was measured using the Lysholm Rating Scale 4. Postoperative return to sport ability of the subjects was measured by using the Anterior Cruciate Ligament Return to Sport After Injury Scale | — |
