Evaluating the impact of proprioception and muscle strength on fear of movement after ACL reconstruction

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 aims to assess how proprioception and muscle strength influence kinesiophobia in individuals who have undergone anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). It considers various factors such as graft type, patient age, activity level, and psychological readiness for returning to sports. By understanding the relationship between these factors and fear of re-injury, the study seeks to provide insights that could improve rehabilitation outcomes for ACLR patients.
