Abstract :Anterior cruciate ligament injury is one of the pathologies that affect the daily and professional life of the majority of athletes. When the treatment options are examined, there are two options surgical treatment and conservative treatment. Rehabilitation is essential in both cases, with or without surgery. Especially for returning to sports, long-term rehabilitation after surgery has become essential. While many different exercise methods have been tried in the prevention of anterior cruciate ligament injury and rehabilitation after reconstructive surgery, many have focused on strength training. The abnormal movement pattern that occurs with the somatosensory loss seen after anterior cruciate ligament injury results in a functional loss in the injured extremity and the contralateral extremity in the long term. Considering the incidence of injury, studies to establish the normal movement pattern and restore motor control are very important. For this reason, motor learning-based interventions that support neuroplasticity are of great interest today. This review aims to examine the functional results of current motor learning-based interventions in anterior cruciate ligament rehabilitation in line with the literature.
