Overview

In this study, patients who have completed their rehabilitation after Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery will be examined with physiological stress response test while being exposed to risky athletic movements via virtual reality headsets. In the next, step patients' functional performance tests will be examined and their relation with stress responses will be examined.
