Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The main goal of a rehabilitation program after an ACL reconstruction is to regain mobility and muscle function and ultimately to return to sports participation. Purpose of the study: to investigate the effect of the accelerated rehabilitation program on knee pain, and function in patients post ACLR surgery. Fifty adult amateur males athletes who underwent ACLR surgery participated in this study, their age ranged from 18 to 35years.They were randomly assigned into two equal groups. Group (A) received accelerated rehabilitation protocol and group (B) received conventional physical therapy program. Treatment sessions were conducted 5 times per week for 22 weeks for both groups. All patients assessed pre and post treatment for pain intensity using visual analogue scale (VAS), and knee function using knee injury and osteoarthritis outcome score (KOOS), knee effusion, and LSI of Hop test.

accelerated rehabilitation protocol

It's a four phases rehabilitation protocol mainly based on the remodeling process of the graft., emphasizing full passive knee extension, immediate weight bearing as tolerated and functional exercises

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Intervention Type OTHER

It's a four phases rehabilitation protocol mainly based on the remodeling process of the graft., emphasizing full passive knee extension, immediate weight bearing as tolerated and functional exercises

conventional physical therapy program

Current conventional protocols were based mainly on biological tissue healing time frames. These protocols emphasize pain reduction, full passive knee extension, quadriceps strength training, immediate motion, immediate par¬tial weight bearing (only if there is a correct gait pattern without any complications), and functional exercises
