About this trial
Fear of re-injury after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery (ACLR) affects individuals' return to sports and physical activity negatively. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of proprioception and muscle strength on kinesiophobia in patients who have undergone anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery.

Disqualifiers
History of previous lower extremity surgery
History of lower extremity injury within the last 6 months
Having a vestibular or neurologic pathology that would affect balance
Trial population
Patients who have undergone ACL reconstruction surgery will be recruited from the Department of the Orthopaedics and Traumatology, Bezmialem Vakıf University Hospital.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Kinesiophobia
The Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale consists of seventeen items. Scores obtained from the scale range from 17 to 68, with higher scores indicating greater severity of kinesiophobia.
Time frame
Baseline2
Joint position sense
Measurement of knee joint position sense by the active and passive repositioning technique with isokinetic dynamometer at 30˚ and 60˚.The deviation from the target angle is recorded in degrees. A high deviation from the target angle indicates a deficiency in proprioceptive sense.
Time frame
Baseline3
Muscle strength
Assessment for knee extensor and flexor muscles with isokinetic dynamometer at 60 º/sec and 240º/sec angular velocity. The peak torque value (Nm), which is measured by the device and indicates the maximum force the subject can reach, will be used in the assessment.
Time frame
Baseline4
Dynamic stability
The single leg dynamic stability test by the Biodex Balance System® (Biodex Medical Systems, Inc. USA). Low values of the stability index indicate better balance and stability, while higher scores indicate a lower ability to maintain postural stability.
Time frame
BaselineSecondary outcomes
1
Return to sports after ACL injury
The ACL Return to Sports after Injury (ACL-RSI) scale is a 12-item scale, scored from 0 to 10, that evaluates psychological readiness for return to sports after ACL injury. High scores indicate positive psychological readiness.
