Official title
The Effect of Motor Imagery Training on Knee Functions and Kinesiophobia in Football Players With Anterior Cruciate Ligament Repair
Overview
Volunteer participants who have undergone anterior cruciate ligament surgery at Bursa Çekirge State Hospital and meet the inclusion criteria will be included in the study. The study will select a sample group from the universe using the probability sampling method (simple random sampling). Participants will be divided into 2 groups: Conventional Physiotherapy + Kinesthetic motor imagery training group and Conventional physiotherapy group with randomization software (https://www.randomizer.org/). Conventional physiotherapy practices created by the physician will be applied by physiotherapists working in the hospital. Knee functions will be evaluated with the IKDC scale, reaction time will be assessed with video recording supported by the Kinovea program, kinesiophobia will be assessed with the Tampa kinesiophobia scale, and finally, autonomic functions will be evaluated with the polar device. Measurements will be repeated after 6 weeks of interventions.
