Knee Injuries, Rehabilitation
Conditions
Brief summary
Purpose of the study is to investigate the effects of the criterion rehabilitation protocol versus accelerated rehabilitation protocol on the biomechanical determinants of the quality of performance and risk of reinjury.
Interventions
rehabilitation protocols after ACLR have been described, aiming to improve muscle strength and knee stability through muscle strengthening exercises in addition to exercises to improve joint proprioception

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Dynamic knee valgus during Single leg landing-jump test using CLINICAL CLIMA 3DMA | 15 minutes | From the coronal plane, dynamic knee valgus is the angle of the knee |
| Lateral trunk flexion during Single leg landing-jump test using CLINICAL CLIMA 3DMA | 15 minutes | From the coronal plane, trunk lateral flexion angle is the angle of the trunk |
| knee flexion angle during Single leg landing-jump test using CLINICAL CLIMA 3DMA | 15 minutes | From sagittal plane, knee flexion angle is the angle of the knee |
