Proprioceptive Isokinetic Repositioning, Functional Testing, and a Self-reported Questionnaire Before and After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction

France45 participantsStarted 2019-09-01

Plain-language summary

This prospectively study aims to evaluate the evolution of knee joint proprioception on isokinetic dynamometer before and after Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction and its relationships with muscle strength, self reported questionnaire and return to sport. This study will include 30 athletes with isolated ACL rupture, and treated with ACL reconstruction surgery and 15 healthy volunteers.
