Eligibility

Age

18 Years to 99 Years

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: patient group: - First unilateral ACL reconstruction between the seven to ten weeks post-surgery - Age: 18 - 45 years old - Male - Military - Patients who have been operated in the Central Military Hospital and who are rehabilitating in the Military Rehabilitation Centre *Aardenburg* or Central Military Hospital. ;control group: - Age: 18 - 45 years old - Male - Military - No history of knee or ankle injuries in the last 6 months

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: For the patient group: - contralateral ACL reconstruction - Medial collateral ligament injury grade 3 - Major hydrops in the operated knee - Neurological or orthopaedic dysfunctions which will have a negative influence on the test results. - Weight >130 kg, because of the maximum load on the platform - Experience with the Computer Assisted Environmet (CAREN) system ;Control group: - Neurological or orthopaedic dysfunctions which will have a negative influence on the test results. - Weight >130 kg, because of the maximum load on the platform - Experience with the CAREN-system

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Biomechanical measurements: angles and moments of force of joints of the lower extremities and ground reaction forces. Main points of interests are: -the differences in biomechanical outcome measurements between the test with no interaction effect and the test with an interaction effect with virtual reality. -the difference in biomechanical outcome measurements between the patient and control group per test. Angles and moments of force of joints of the lower extremities and ground reaction forces during heel strike, mid stance and pre-swing phases of the gait cycle will be calculated. The angles and moments of force of joints of the lower extremities and ground reaction forces during stair descending on the force plate will be calculated.	—
