Neuromuscular Training
MOTIFS
Participants in this group will undergo rehabilitation for ACL injury consisting of neuromuscular training according to care-as-usual treatment common to physical therapy professionals.
Participants in this group will receive an intervention that has been developed according to our new training model, known as MOTor Imagery to Facilitate Sensorimotor re-learning (MOTIFS). In this intervention, patients will receive a neuromuscular training rehabilitation program with integrated dynamic motor imagery.
