Kinesiophobia After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction.
Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Diagnostic test
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture is a serious trauma with long-term consequences to the athlete. Psychological and physiological factors may negatively affect patient recovery and increase reinjury rate after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR), and development of kinesiophobia is also possible.

Treatments
Experimental: Kinesiophobia tests
Patients were assessed using the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK-17), Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), and Oxford Knee score (OKS). Ten minutes cycling with light resistance on a stationary bike was used for warm up before the physical tests. Quadriceps and hamstring muscle isokinetic strength was assessed at 60°/sec and 180°/sec using a Humac Norm Isokinetic dynamometer (Stoughton, United States). Functional performance was tested with the single-leg hop test for distance and the Y-balance test for anterior reach. The non-operated leg was tested first. All physical tests were supervised by the same specialized physiotherapists.
