- Not specified
- Target Recruitment
- 60
To participate in this study, a participant of the ACLr group must meet the
following criteria:
- At the time of inclusion, an age between 18 and 30 years old
- Primary ACLr, as evidenced by history and physical examination and additional
examination (MRI);
- Physiotherapy during rehabilitation after ACLr;
- Between 6-24 months after ACLr.
To participate in this study, a participant in the control group must meet the
following criteria:
- At the time of inclusion, an age of 18 to 30 years;
- No knee injury that affects knee instability, such as ACL rupture;
- No lower extremity injury in the 6 months prior to study entry, resulting in
more than 2 weeks of inability to exercise;
- No motor impairment at the time of the measurement.
A potential participant who meets any of the following criteria will be
excluded from this study:
- Color blindness
- Visual impairment;
- Neurological disabilities.
A potential participant of the ACLr group who meets one of the following
criteria will be excluded from participation in this study:
- Complications during rehabilitation (re-rupture, additional knee damage
and/or no functional recovery after 6 months);
- Bilateral ACL rupture and/or revision ACLr;
- Multiligamentary knee injury;
- Swelling of the knee, defined as stroke > 2;
- Degenerative changes in the knee joint;
- Surgical procedures or injuries of the contralateral leg.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>The primary outcome is the difference in jump distance between a traditional<br /><br>hoptest and the hoptests with added neurocognitive load in 1) patients after<br /><br>ACLr and 2) individuals without knee injury. The jump distance between the<br /><br>traditional jump test, the first neurocognitive jump test and the second<br /><br>neurocognitive jump test is compared. </p><br>
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>The first secundary outcome is the left-right difference in traditional jump<br /><br>tests and the left-right difference in jump tests with added neurcognitive load.<br /><br>Other secondary outcomes consist of parameters derived from muscle activity and<br /><br>joint angles, measured with EMG and 3D motion sensors, respectively.</p><br>
