Effects of Innovative Aquatic Proprioceptive Training on Knee Proprioception in Athletes with Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: A Randomized Controlled Trial

This study explores whether adding special water exercises to normal rehab helps athletes recover better after ACL surgery. The study found that water exercises improved the athletes' sense of joint position, which is important for stability. These water exercises may help athletes who are nervous about re-injuring themselves during rehab.

• 1
  Innovative aquatic proprioceptive training improves proprioception efficiency in individuals with ACL reconstruction.
• 2
  The hydrotherapy group showed significantly greater improvement in absolute and variable errors compared to the conventional therapy group.
• 3
  Both groups displayed a significant improvement in VAS and IKDC scores after the intervention, but there were no significant differences between the groups.
