Brief summary

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are among the most frequent knee injuries, often leading to deficits in postural stability and balance as a result of mechanoreceptor damage, which disrupts proprioceptive feedback and sensorimotor regulation. The present study aimed to provide a detailed evaluation of postural stability and balance in non-athletic individuals following ACL reconstruction (ACLR).
