Brief Summary

Quadriceps and hamstring muscle strenghts have important role in returning to sport after ACL reconstruction and one of the main focus of rehabilitation is to improve strenght of these muscles. With the strenghtening of the contralateral limb (cross-over training) we aimed to improve the strenght of the quadriceps

Conditions

Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction

Keywords

knee; rehabilitation; ACL; Contralateral training

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• quadriceps and hamstring muscle strenght

  quadriceps strength change during the first, second and sixth months of the rehabilitation proccess after ACL reconstruction surgery. the strength measurements will conducted on isokinetic dynamometer (isomed 2000)

  6 month

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• functional outcomes

  6 month

Study Arms (2)

traditional rehabilitation

EXPERIMENTAL

patients in this groups is going to recieve traditional rehabilitation programme for 3 months after ACL recontsruction

Other: Traditional rehabilitation

Cross-over training

EXPERIMENTAL

patients in this programme is going to recieve isokinetic exercise programme targeting unilvolved limb during rehabilitation. for the first 4 weeks after ACL reconstruction traditional rehabiitation programme is going to applied to the subjects. after 4 weeks, isokinetic strenghtening programme at 60˚/second angular velocity, between 0-90 degree knee flexion until 3 months after ACL reconstructon

Other: Cross-over training

Interventions
