To recover lower-limb motor function is a primary goal for rehabilitation after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Although quantitative testing and questionnaire evaluation provide a lot of valuable information, while functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) provides a powerful method to assess functional connectivity (FC) involved in motor function recovery before and after receiving a novel combined rehabilitation training. However, our understanding of the FC changes during early rehabilitation after ACL reconstruction is partial and incomplete.
