The Effect of Contralateral Knee Neuromuscular Exercises on Static and Dynamic Balance, Knee Function, and Pain in Athletes Who Underwent Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: A Single-Blind Randomized Controlled Trial.
J Sport Rehabil . 2023 Mar 14;32(5):524-539.Thirty patients who underwent anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction were randomized to receive either an 8-week contralateral neuromuscular knee exercise program (n=15) or routine physiotherapy (n=15). The primary outcomes of interest included the Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT), Balance Error Scoring System (BESS), Stork Balance Stand Test, and the Lysholm questionnaire. The secondary outcome was pain on a Visual Analog Scale (VAS). The neuromuscular knee exercise program resulted in significantly better balance and pain scores compared to the routine physiotherapy groups, as measured by SEBT, BESS, and VAS pain scores.
