Conditions

After anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction

Interventions

The short foot exercise participants flex metatarsophalangeal joints toward the heel without flexing interphalangeal joints. The exercises are performed once per day for 12 weeks with a 5-s hold and 5

Eligibility

Sex/Gender

All

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: a)Tegner activity score is more than 5, b)Post operation time is more than six months, c)The tibial tuberosity crossed the vertical line on the 2nd toe during single-leg landing from 30cm steps.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: a) Revision ACLR, b) Severe concomitant procedure such as Medial collateral ligament repair, c) Participants with pain in static condition and during movements.

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Single-leg landing: Participants perform single-leg landing from the 30cm step and maintain the landing position for 3 seconds. The measurement is performed 3 times. Two smartphones (iPhone SE, Apple) on the tripod are set at 5m distance and 35 degree wide from the landing point. The trials are recorded at 240fps according to the protocol of the markerless motion capture system (OpenCap, Stanford University). The data will be analyzed by the motion analysis software (OpenSim, National Center for Simulation in Rehabilitation Research). The maximum knee valgus, hip adduction, and planter flexion are analyzed after filtering with a cut-off frequency of 15 Hz. The Ankle plantar flexion angle at foot contact is the primary outcome in this study.	—
