NCT04129827 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 20

Last updated 2021-10-08

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Most athletes who undergo Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction (ACLR) plan to return to some level of sporting (RTS) activity. However, rates of return to pre-injury sport are often less than might be expected and many factors influence whether individuals return to sport after this surgery. This study aims to better understand the role of meniscal lesions in RTS and to assess the advantage of the integrated evaluation with clinical, biomechanical and psychological tests to decide the correct RTS timing in non-professional athletes undergoing ACLR.

Conditions

  • ACL Injury
  • Meniscus Lesion
  • Sport Injury

Interventions

OTHER

Clinical, self-reported psychological and biomechanical assessments

1. medical check up * active and passive Range Of Motion (ROM) * anterior drawer test * knee's alignment * modified cincinnati rating system questionnaire (mCRSQ) * tegner lysholm knee scoring scale (TLKS) * Tegner Activity Level Score (TALS) 2. self-reported psychological questionnaires * Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK) * ACL Return to Sport after Injury (ACL-RSI) score 3. biomechanical tests * Stability test: to balance on one/two legs on a free to move disc for 30s * Jump test: i) a maximize jump with both legs; ii) a maximize jump with only one leg; three consecutive jumps; iv) jump coordination path where the patient had to perform a forward-backward-forward jump and a sideway jump on one leg * Coordination test: a square hurdle was used for the quick test, where the patient had to step in and out with both feet for a total of 15-rep as quickly as possible * fatigue test: to rise and sit from a chair for 30-rep as quickly and safely as possible
