NCT04058574

Brief 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.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Change from Baseline passive proprioceptive evaluation after 7 months

    Measurement of knee proprioception by the passive repositioning technique (JPS, in degrees) on isokinetic dynamometer.

    ACL group: 6 weeks after surgery and 7 months after surgery; Healthy group: one evaluation at a single point in time through study completion, an average of 1 year

  • Change from Baseline active proprioceptive evaluation after 7 months

    Measurement of knee proprioception by the active repositioning technique (JPS, in degrees) on isokinetic dynamometer.

    ACL group: 6 weeks after surgery and 7 months after surgery; Healthy group: one evaluation at a single point in time through study completion, an average of 1 year

  • Change from Baseline TDPM (Threshold to Detection of Passive Motion) evaluation after 7 months

    Measurement of knee proprioception by the Threshold to Detection of Passive Motion (TDPM in degrees) on isokinetic dynamometer.

    ACL group: 6 weeks after surgery and 7 months after surgery; Healthy group: one evaluation at a single point in time through study completion, an average of 1 year

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Strength

    ACL group: Two evaluations on both injured and healthy knees: (1) 3 months after surgery and (2) 7 months after surgery; Healthy group: one evaluation at a single point in time through study completion, an average of 1 year

  • ACL-RSI questionnaire (Anterior Cruciate Ligament-Return to Sport after Injury)

    ACL group: Four evaluations on both injured and healthy knees: (1) 2 weeks before surgery, (2) 3 months after surgery, (3) 7 months after surgery and (4) 12 months after surgery

  • Functional testing

    ACL group: Two evaluations on both injured and healthy knees: (1) 3 months after surgery and (2) 7 months after surgery; Healthy group: one evaluation at a single point in time through study completion, an average of 1 year

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 50 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsAdult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

  • Isolated and primary tear of the ACL
  • Individual candidate for an ACL reconstruction surgery.
  • Acute ACL injury (\<6 weeks)
  • Athletes (person who competes in one or more sports that involve physical strength, speed or endurance) whatever their level of sport practice
  • Internet access

You may not qualify if:

  • Prior knee surgery
  • Complex ligamentous lesion (lateral ligaments, posterior cruciate ligament)
  • Surgery for meniscal lesions (patients initially included but warranting meniscal surgery during arthroscopy will be secondarily excluded from the study.)
  • Recent muscle damage
  • History of significant injury on the healthy knee
  • ACL rupture recurrence
  • Pregnant woman
  • Neurological or vestibular antecedent with sequelae
  • Individuals taking treatment altering alertness (neuroleptics, sedatives)
  • Informed consent not obtained
