No results posted yet for this study

Summary

In recent years, it has been shown that different focuses (externally vs. internally focused) used when explaining exercises to patients after knee surgeries affect exercise performance and rehabilitation outcomes. Quadriceps muscle inhibition after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is one of the primary symptoms that should be treated. This study aimed to investigate the effects of different focusing techniques during the rehabilitation exercises after anterior cruciate ligament rehabilitation.

Conditions

  • Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction

Interventions

OTHER

Internally Focused Exercise
