A comparison of means showed no significant difference between the KROS group and the regular rehabilitation group at 12 months regarding the ACL-RSI scores, KSES scores, isometric quadriceps strength, Isometric hamstrings strength, H/Q ratio, strength LSI, functional LSI, Single Leg Hop for Distance outcome, Side Hop outcome, Single Leg Balance outcome and the Y-Balance outcome. In figure 4 and 5 it is shown that over the course of the KROS programme, the quadriceps strength keeps improving, whereas the hamstrings strength dips around month 9. As demonstrated in figure 6 and 7 both the strength and functional limb symmetry indexes are near normal in both groups from 6 months after ACL reconstruction. Results from the strength and functional tests and results from the questionnaires for all subjects that participated in the KROS programme over the different timepoints are depicted in appendix A. In appendix B the same results are shown for the regular rehabilitation group. In appendix C the individual results of the KROS participants are shown with regard Mark Zee.indd 160 03-01-2024 08:56
