Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Signal Intensity in Magnetic resonance Imaging | The integration of the ligament in magnetic resonance imaging is represented by using values from 1 to 3 (1= continuous ligament; 2= wavy but continuous ligament contour; 3= non-delineated ligament) which are determined by an experienced independent radiologist. Source of the data: axial, coronal, and sagittal scans with proton density-weighted sequences with and without fat saturation by a 1.5-Tesla MRI unit (1.5-Tesla MRI unit, Espree; Siemens AG, Erlangen, Germany). | at least one year after injury | |
Secondary | Limb symmetry Index | The functional performance is defined using the LSI in percent between each individual's lower limbs using a diagnostic battery. The test battery consists of a standardized warm-up protocol followed by an isometric strength test (testing the maximum voluntary isometric contraction) of the hamstrings in prone position in 90 degree knee flexion using a portable dynamometer (Mecmesin Advanced Force Gauge, Mecmesin, UK), which is attached to a wall bar with a non-stretchable rope. After that several single-leg jump tests are performed: (1) single-leg hop for distance, (2) single-leg 6m timed hop, (3) single-leg triple crossover hop for distance and (4) side hop test. Finally, a fatigued single-leg hop for distance is conducted following a fatigue protocol consisting of alternating squat lunges to exhaustion for the duration of two minutes. The LSI will be calculated for the best trial in each of the five hop tests and for the overall combination as an average of the hop tests. | at least one year after Injury / surgery | |
Secondary | Subjective Outcome: German Version of the IKDC Subjective Knee Form (International Knee Documentation Committee | Source of the data: knee evaluation form Results: continuous data between 0 and 100 | at least one year after Injury | |
Secondary | Subjective Outcome: German Version of the WOMAC (Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index | Source of the data: 5-point Likert-type of a subjective patient questionnaire of 24 items divided into 3 subscales (pain: 5 items, stiffness: 2 items, physical function: 17 items) Result: ordinal data (pain=0-20, stiffness=0-8, physical function=0-68) | at least one year after Injury | |
Secondary | Subjective Outcome: SF-12 (short form) | Source of the data: 5-point Likert-type of a subjective patient questionnaire of 12 items Result: continuous data between 0 and 100 (the higher the number, the better the subjective physical and mental health) | at least one year after Injury | |
Secondary | Subjective Outcome: German Version of the KOOS (Knee Osteoarthritis Outcome Score) | Source of the data: patient-administered subjective questionnaire of 5 subscales: Pain, other Symptoms, Function in daily living (ADL), Function in sport and recreation (Sport/Rec) and knee related Quality of life (QOL) What form the data will take: a normalized score (100 indicating no symptoms and 0 indicating extreme symptoms) is calculated for each subscale. | at least one year after Injury | |
Secondary | Subjective Outcome: German Version of the modified Lysholm-Score by Lysholm and Gillquist | Source of the data: 8-item patient-administered questionnaire Result: continuous data between 0 and 100 | at least one year after Injury | |
Secondary | Subjective Outcome: German Version of the TAS (Tegner activity scale) | The physical activity level of all subjects in all groups is estimated with the German Version of the TAS (Tegner activity scale). Source of the data: patient questionnaire Result: ordinal data between 0 and 10 |
