Postural Stability Following Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction

Nigde Omer Halisdemir University58 enrolled

Overview

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).
