The Effect Of Addıtıonal Surgery On Muscle Strength, Proprıoceptıon And Balance In Anterıor Crucıate Lıgament Surgery

Muscle strength of both legs, maximal reciprocal concentric isokinetic knee extension (quadriceps) and flexion (hamstring) at 60°/s, 90°/s and 180°/s speeds were evaluated

Knee joint proprioception was assessed by joint position sense. Joint position sense was measured by the previously taught ability to actively find joint position (EPAB)

The patients and healthy individuals participating in our study were evaluated with the General Stability Index (GSI) for general balance ability, Anterior-Posterior Stability Index (APSI) for anterior-posterior balance ability, Medial-Lateral Stability Index (MLSI) for lateral balance ability and Fall Risk Index (DRI) and Biodex Balance System (Biodex Inc., Shirley, New York, USA) for fall risk. High values obtained indicate deterioration in balance and increased risk of falling.

Tegner Activity Level and the Turkish version of the Lysholm Knee Scoring Scale by Çelik et al. were used to subjectively determine the functional level in individuals undergoing ACL reconstruction surgery.
