Brief Summary
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are among the most frequent knee injuries, often leading to deficits in postural stability and balance as a result of mechanoreceptor damage, which disrupts proprioceptive feedback and sensorimotor regulation. The present study aimed to provide a detailed evaluation of postural stability and balance in non-athletic individuals following ACL reconstruction (ACLR).

Eligibility Criteria
The study included 58 non-athletic individuals aged 18-40 years. Among them, 29 participants had undergone unilateral anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) 12-24 months prior to the study, and 29 healthy individuals matched for age, height, weight, and sex served as the control group.
You may qualify if:
- aged 18-40 years who had undergone unilateral ACLR Tegner activity score of ≥ 5
You may not qualify if:
- Any other orthopedic conditions affecting the lower extremities besides ACL injury
- A history of lower extremity surgery for any reason
- Lower limb malalignment
- Neurological or circulatory disorders that could impair balance
- Visual or vestibular problems
- Rheumatologic diseases
- Pregnancy
