This study will investigate whether knee joint manipulation can improve neurocognitive and neuromuscular performance in individuals with a history of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Recruitment will consist of 30 participants aged 18-35 who are 4 months to 5 years post-ACLR and demonstrate measurable reaction time delays. Using a within-subject pre-post design, participants will complete a battery of neurocognitive and neuromuscular assessments, including visuomotor reaction time and dual-task hop testing, before and after knee joint manipulation(s). The main questions the investigators aim to address are: Aim 1: Evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and applicability of integrating knee joint manipulation into post-ACLR rehabilitation using the Implementation and Outcomes Framework. Aim 2: Determine preliminary efficacy of knee joint manipulation on neurocognitive performance in individuals with ACLR.
