Brief Summary

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

Although current rehabilitation protocols following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) are based on the graft remodeling process, there is uncertainty about its time schedule. Moreover, there are individual differences in neuromotor learning and flexibility after ACLR. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of a criterion-based rehabilitation protocol on pain intensity, effusion, and knee function in amateur athletes following ACLR.

rehabilitation protocol

Intervention Type OTHER

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 The criterion-based rehabilitation protocol is relatively new. It was developed and recommended in 2016 by the Royal Dutch Society for Physical Therapy (KNGF), aiming to assure a more patient-tailored rehabilitation and to maximize the speed of a patient's progress. It's a three phases protocol with a criterion-based progression.
