About this trial
The aim of this clinical trial is to determine the effectiveness of fESWT in rehabilitation after ACL reconstruction. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Is fESWT applied in addition to conventional physiotherapy effective in physiotherapy-related parameters?
Researchers will compare conventional physiotherapy and conventional physiotherapy + fESWT to see if fESWT provides benefits in addition to conventional physiotherapy.
Participants:
They will receive the conventional physiotherapy program 2 days per week. In addition, the intervention group will receive low-intensity fESWT 1 day per week.
Participants' muscle strength, postural balance, range of motion, pain scores and functional status will be assessed.
