Previous research has shown that individuals with a history of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and have had an ACL reconstruction (ACLR) are at a greater risk for not returning to previous levels of sport participation or sustaining a secondary injury. While deficits in physical function and recovery are often present in these patients, it has also been suggested that psychological factors may serve as a primary reason for failure to return to previous function. To reduce this, we must first identify changes that occur post-ACLR to develop future interventions for treatment and we may identify sleep as a modifiable factor we can target to improve outcomes.
