Evaluating knee stability and activity levels in athletes with ACL injuries in Saudi Arabia

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study focuses on translating and adapting the Marx Activity Rating Scale and the Knee Stability in Sports/Cutting-Pivoting Ability scale for Arabic-speaking athletes with anterior cruciate ligament injuries. It aims to assess the psychometric properties of these scales among a sample of 100 athletes, both with ACL injuries and healthy participants, recruited from various hospitals and sports clubs in Saudi Arabia. Participants will provide informed consent and complete patient-reported outcome measures to evaluate their activity levels and knee stability.
