Summary

The objective of the study is to compare, with or without wearing an elastic proprioceptive knee brace, the functional proprioceptive capacity of the knee in patients suffering from proprioceptive deficit.

Detailed description

This proprioceptive deficit is found following various traumas or injuries such as Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) rupture, for example. The use of joint stabilizers (such as knee braces) will allow an increase in sensory input (particularly at the level of cutaneous mechanoreceptors), and improve the biomechanics of the injured joint. The objective of the study is to compare, with or without wearing an elastic proprioceptive knee brace, the functional proprioceptive capacity of the knee in patients suffering from proprioceptive deficit.
