Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare changes in lower limb symmetry during functional and strength tests, before and after the motor imagery program, in patients who received the 3-week motor imagery program starting 3 months post-surgery versus patients who did not receive the motor imagery program.

Detailed description

This is a prospective, comparative, randomized, controlled, single-blind (patient), single-center study evaluating the effects of a motor imagery program in parallel with rehabilitation sessions in patients who have had an anterior cruciate ligament rupture. The study population is composed of adult patients who underwent reconstructive surgery after anterior cruciate ligament rupture, followed up at the Clinique de la Sauvegarde in Lyon for post-operative functional and strength testing of the anterior cruciate ligament. Patients included in the study will be randomized into two study arms (experimental arm and control arm).
