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

Background: Proprioceptive training in the aquatic environment is more beneficial owing to water properties. The primary goal of the present study was to investigate the effectiveness of the incorporation of innovative aquatic proprioceptive training into conventional accelerated land-based rehabilitation protocol in knee function and joint position sense in male athletes after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR).

Methods: A total of 38 athlete male athletes with ACLR were randomly assigned to two rehabilitation groups.
