Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries
Conditions
Brief summary
Volunteer participants who have undergone anterior cruciate ligament surgery at Bursa Çekirge State Hospital and meet the inclusion criteria will be included in the study. The study will select a sample group from the universe using the probability sampling method (simple random sampling). Participants will be divided into 2 groups: Conventional Physiotherapy + Kinesthetic motor imagery training group and Conventional physiotherapy group with randomization software (https://www.randomizer.org/). Conventional physiotherapy practices created by the physician will be applied by physiotherapists working in the hospital. Knee functions will be evaluated with the IKDC scale, reaction time will be assessed with video recording supported by the Kinovea program, kinesiophobia will be assessed with the Tampa kinesiophobia scale, and finally, autonomic functions will be evaluated with the polar device. Measurements will be repeated after 6 weeks of interventions.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Kinesiophobia | Through study completion, an average of 1 year | Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale: This scale, consisting of 17 questions, evaluates the person's avoidance of movement or fear of re-injury. A Likert-type scale consisting of 4 points is used. 1 point means 'I disagree', and 4 points means 'I agree'. The individual receives a total score between 17 and 68 on this scale. A high score means high kinesiophobia. |
| Activity Level | Through study completion, an average of 1 year | Tegner Activity Scale: Although the scale consists of 11 questions in total, the difficulty level increases as you go from 0 to 10. While 0 means that he is either resting or retired due to his knee problem, 10 means that he is at a level where he can play competitive football at the national and elite levels. The individual is asked to mark the most appropriate one among these 11 items according to his activity level. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Knee Fuctions | Through study completion, an average of 1 year | IKDC (International Knee Documentation Committee): The IKDC is a purely subjective assessment that assigns patients a functional overall rating. Three categories are examined by the questionnaire: symptoms, athletic activity, and knee function. The symptoms subscale aids in evaluating issues like pain, stiffness, edema, and knee giving way. The stair climbing, standing up from a chair, squatting, and jumping functions are the emphasis of the sports activity subscale. Higher scores indicate higher levels of function and lower levels of symptoms, with the transformed score being regarded as a measure of function. |
| Self-confidence Level | Through study completion, an average of 1 year | Athletic Injury Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (AISEQ): The questionnaire comprised 10 items representing 3 types of self-efficacy: task (3 items), barrier (3 items), and scheduling (4 items). Participants rate their self-efficacy for each of the items on a confidence scale ranging from 0% (no confidence) to 100% (completely confident). |
