Recruited participants will be randomly allocated to one of the three groups of participants constituted in this study.~The two first groups will receive prehabilitation prior to ACL reconstruction (differing in program type). All participants will receive standardized post-surgery rehabilitation (based on international recommandations).
Atrophy and weakness are ubiquitous after a ACL rupture and associated with a worsened long-term recovery of individual capacities, despite surgery and rehabilitation. Preoperative rehabilitation (prehab) is believed to prepare patients for surgery and post-operative rehabilitation. However, prehab programs are highly variable, and do not always aim to develop/maintain neuromuscular parameters.~The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of a lower limb strengthening training program during prehab prior to ACL Surgery on lower limb structure and function.
