Abstract

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) provides a very significant role in knee stability, It elongates slanting from corner to corner in between of the knee joint this ligament preventing the tibia from coming forward out, the ligament within the knee is comprised of involvement which connects the thigh bone femur to the tibia bone. Our aim is to investigate and analyze the comparison of physical activity, knee quality of life and functional disability in athletes and non –athletes after ACL reconstruction. Will it have a considerable change in the mobility and functional performance in the patients between 6-24 months of ACLR Various studies conducted on Single leg hop test, EQ- 5D 5L knee quality of life and lysholm knee scoring scale parameters and application, its impact and importance to reveal the knee quality of work status within a subject having unilateral ACL reconstruction which in terms help to get a genuine feedback on relief of pain, efficiency to perform recreational activities and any disabilities occurred within ADL’s.
