Clinical Trial Summary

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.

Intervention

Other:
rehabilitation protocol
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.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Visual Analogue Scale It is a 100-mm horizontal line anchored by word descriptors at each end by "no pain" on the left and "worst imaginable pain" on the right 6 months
Secondary limb symmetry index of hop test battery The mean score of the results of each item of hop test battery of the injured limb was divided by the corresponding mean score of the uninjured limb and the result was multiplied by 100. Hop test battery consists of the following: (1) vertical jump, (2) hop for distance, (3) drop jump followed by a double hop for distance, (4) square hop and (5) side hop. 6 months
Secondary Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score it is a 42-item self-questionnaire with five subscales. A five-point scale ranging from 0 (no problem) to 4 (extreme problems) was used to score each item and the scores of each subscale were individually transformed into a 0-100 scale (0 = extreme knee problems, 100 = no knee problem) 6 months
Secondary knee effusion grading scale It"s a reliable and valid method which Based on a stroke test, where effusion of the knee joint is quantified using a 5-point scale. A 0 grade means no wave is produced with the downward stroke 6 months
