Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The study includes two groups of participants: 15 individuals who have had Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery and 15 healthy individuals. Both groups will perform the same core stabilization exercises for 8 weeks, twice a week, under the supervision of a physiotherapist.
The goal is to determine if this exercise program improves balance and core strength in people who have had ACL surgery and to compare these results with those of healthy individuals performing the same exercises.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
ACL Reconstruction Group
Participants in this arm are individuals who have undergone unilateral Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery within the last 5 years. These participants will receive a core stabilization exercise program for 8 weeks, with supervised sessions held twice per week. The exercise program includes movements such as the Hundreds, clam exercise, plank, side plank, dead bug, and bridging.
Core Stabilization Exercise Program
Participants receive a supervised core stabilization exercise program for a duration of 8 weeks. Sessions are conducted twice per week by a physiotherapist. The program includes a set of standardized exercises such as the Hundreds, clam exercise, plank, side plank, dead bug exercise, curl-ups, and bridging.
Healthy Control Group
Participants in this arm are healthy individuals with no known history of lower extremity injury or surgery. This group is matched to the ACL Reconstruction Group. These participants will also receive the same core stabilization exercise program for 8 weeks, with supervised sessions held twice per week, to serve as a comparison group.
