- Brief Summary
The Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) is one of the major stabilizing ligaments of the knee, playing a crucial role in maintaining joint integrity during movement. ACL injuries are common, particularly among athletes, and often result from sudden stops, changes in direction, or direct trauma. When the ACL is torn, it leads to knee instability, pain, and reduced functional ability, often requiring surgical reconstruction to restore normal joint function.
ACLR is a surgical procedure where the damaged ACL is replaced with a graft, typically from the patellar tendon, hamstring tendon, or quadriceps tendon. Post-surgery, patients often experience proprioceptive deficits, postural instability, muscle weakness, and altered neuromuscular control, which can lead to difficulties in returning to pre-injury activity levels.
The clinical features of ACL injury include knee pain, swelling, instability, loss of motion, and difficulty in weight-bearing activities. Additionally, post-ACLR rehabilitation is crucial to regain strength, balance, proprioception, and neuromuscular control to prevent future injuries and complications such as osteoarthritis.
Current rehabilitation interventions for ACL reconstruction involve a combination of physical therapy, proprioceptive training, and neuromuscular re-education. Studies indicate that Cognitive Training and Proprioceptive Training are effective in reducing postural sway, improving balance, and enhancing knee stability post-ACLR.
This study aims to examine the effects of Cognitive Training and Proprioceptive Training on postural control, balance, and functional recovery in individuals after ACL reconstruction. By incorporating targeted rehabilitation strategies, this research seeks to improve long-term functional outcomes and aid in the safe return to sports and daily activities.
