• 1 other identifier: 004270
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 105

Brief Summary

Purpose of the study is to investigate the effects of the criterion rehabilitation protocol versus accelerated rehabilitation protocol on the biomechanical determinants of the quality of performance and risk of reinjury.

Conditions

Knee Injuries; Rehabilitation

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Dynamic knee valgus during Single leg landing-jump test using CLINICAL CLIMA 3DMA

  From the coronal plane, dynamic knee valgus is the angle of the knee

  15 minutes

• Lateral trunk flexion during Single leg landing-jump test using CLINICAL CLIMA 3DMA

  From the coronal plane, trunk lateral flexion angle is the angle of the trunk

  15 minutes

• knee flexion angle during Single leg landing-jump test using CLINICAL CLIMA 3DMA

  From sagittal plane, knee flexion angle is the angle of the knee

  15 minutes

Study Arms (2)

criterion-based rehabilitation protocol

EXPERIMENTAL

It's a three phases rehabilitation protocol with a goal-based progression which include a three criterion based postoperative phases: (1) impairment phase, (2) sport-specific training phase and (3) return to play phase. Patients can start with the next phase only if specific goals of the previous phase are achieved

Other: rehabilitation protocol

accelerated rehabilitation protocol

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

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

Other: rehabilitation protocol

Interventions

rehabilitation protocol OTHER

rehabilitation protocols after ACLR have been described, aiming to improve muscle strength and knee stability through muscle strengthening exercises in addition to exercises to improve joint proprioception

accelerated rehabilitation protocol; criterion-based rehabilitation protocol

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years - 35 Years
• Sex: male
• Healthy Volunteers: Yes
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

• Amateur male athletes who underwent ACLR surgery with an autologous hamstring (HS) graft.
• Ranging in age from 18 to 35 years.
• Underwent a pre-operative rehabilitation program with minimal knee effusion, full Extension, good patellofemoral mobility
• Ability to actively control the quadriceps.

You may not qualify if:

• ACLR with any graft other than a hamstring graft
• ACL revision surgery
• associated medial or lateral ligamentous injuries
• previous meniscectomy or meniscal repair
• simultaneous meniscectomy or meniscus repair with the ACLR
• cartilage damage.
