Purpose of this Study
We are doing this study to compare 2 different versions of a balance test. We want both people who have had an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) procedure and people with no history of ligament injury to do these tests. We hope this study can help us develop better testing methods to figure out when it is appropriate for people to return to their regular activities after an ACL procedure.

What is Involved?
Description
If you choose to join this study, you will perform the Y-Balance Test, which is widely used to judge someone's stability. You will then repeat the Y-Balance Test with an additional component that measures reaction time.
If you join the study as a healthy participant with no history of ACL injury, we will ask you to come back for a second day of testing.
