Investigation of the Effects of Proprioceptive Exercises After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Surgery

Lysholm Knee Scoring Scale

The Lysholm scale was developed for use by physicians and has been verified in patients with Anterior Cruciate Ligament and meniscal injuries. It's also been approved as a patient-administered tool for assessing symptoms and function in people who have had a variety of knee injuries. The Lysholm scale assesses the domains of symptoms and complaints, as well as functioning in daily activities, however, it doesn't assess the area of sports and recreational activities. There are 8 items on this questionnaire and graded on a scale of 0 to 100, with higher scores suggesting fewer symptoms and better function

Tampa Kinesiophobia Questionnaire

Tampa Kinesiophobia Questionnaire is a 17-question questionnaire that assesses avoidance of injury and fear of movement. The scale is scored using a Likert scale (1 = Strongly disagree, 4 = Strongly agree). Items 4, 8, 12 and 16 are reversed to calculate the total score of the scale. The total score is between 17 and 68. As the score of the person increases, it is understood that their kinesiophobia is high. A total score higher than 37 is considered as high kinesiophobia. However, since not every item of the questionnaire addresses patients with headache in this study, some questions were removed, some questions were edited and some questions were added to create a kinesiophobia questionnaire for headache. The newly created questionnaire consists of 23 items. Again, it is scored using a Likert scale with "1 = Strongly disagree, 4 = Strongly agree". As the score increases, it is understood that the level of kinesiophobia is high

Y Balance Test

The Y Balance Test will be used to assess dynamic balance by measuring reach distances in three directions (anterior, posteromedial, and posterolateral) while standing on one leg. Each direction will be tested three times, and the average reach distance will be normalized to leg length. A composite score will be calculated and expressed as a percentage to evaluate overall dynamic balance capacity. Higher scores indicate better balance performance.
