Overview
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of proprioceptive exercises on balance, kinesiophobia, and functionality after anterior cruciate ligament surgery.
Description
A sociodemographic form will be used to obtain sociodemographic information, the y-balance test will be used to assess balance at the beginning and end of the study, the Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale will be used to assess kinesiophobia, and the Lysholm Knee Score Scale will be used to assess functionality. Both groups will perform balance exercises currently offered at the hospital. The experimental group will also receive proprioceptive exercises in addition to the balance exercises currently offered at the hospital. The exercises will be performed three days a week for 12 weeks for both groups. In this study, the independent variables are the addition or non-addition of proprioceptive exercises, while balance, kinesiophobia, and functionality are the dependent variables. The significance levels of the obtained data will be statistically analyzed.
