Plain-language summary

By introducing BlazePods as a neurocognitive addition to the YBT, this study aims to determine whether this addition impacts balance performance and/or reach distances between the operative and non-operative limbs of patients recovering from ACL reconstruction. Findings will contribute to optimizing return-to-sport protocols and enhancing late-stage rehabilitation program designs.
