Sponsor's own description
The primary aim of this study is to investigate the effect of motor imagery training as an additional tool in the rehabilitation after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Therefore, ACLR patients will be recruited and randomly assigned into one of following groups: * Experimental group: Classic rehabilitation + Motor imagery training * Control group: Classic rehabilitation Both, the control and experimental group, will be submitted to a routine physiotherapy program after ACLR. In addition, the intervention group will be exposed to motor imagery training at three different time periods during the rehabilitation process (MI 1: immediately postoperative; MI 2: return to run; MI 3: change of direction). All participants will be invited for a preoperative screening, several postoperative screenings at 4-week time intervals and a final return to sport screening. At these test moments, participants will be subjected to a specific test battery consisting of subjective and objective clinical parameters. The subjective outcomes imply the patient's perception of pain and discomfort, level of participation, psychosocial well-being and overall quality of life. The objective clinical outcome measures relate to knee mobility and muscle strength, level of functioning/performance capacity and the detection of brain areas and networks involved in the processes of anxiety and worrying using EEG.
