By introducing BlazePods as a neurocognitive addition to the YBT, this study aims to determine whether this addition impacts balance performance and/or reach distances between the operative and non-operative limbs of patients recovering from ACL reconstruction. Findings will contribute to optimizing return-to-sport protocols and enhancing late-stage rehabilitation program designs.
The study team will measure performance under two conditions: the standard Y-Balance Test (YBT) and the YBT with an added neurocognitive component (YBT+NC). For the YBT+NC, the study team will attach Blaze Pods to the target area of the three reach indictors: anterior (A), posteromedial (PM), and posterolateral (PL). The Blaze Pods will light up in random sequences, requiring participants to slide the illuminated reach indicator as far as possible while maintaining balance on the stationary stance limb. Reaction time, individual reach distances (PM,PL,A), YBT composite score, and number of err…
