NCT05241795 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 48

Last updated 2022-03-18

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study will be conducted to investigate if there is any difference between starting rehabilitation program after ACL reconstruction with knee joint training followed by ankle joint training and starting it with ankle joint training followed by knee joint training (crossover effect) on gait parameters of the knee joint.

Conditions

  • ACL Tear
  • ACL Sprain
  • Anterior Cruciate Ligament Rupture
  • Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries

Interventions

OTHER

Knee then Ankle rehabilitation protocol

Patients will start with knee exercise program that includes * Partial Squats: The exercise will be performed as 3 sets of 10 repetitions each day. * Toe Raises: The exercise will be performed as 3 sets of 10 repetitions each day. * Stationary bike will be used (10-15 minutes /day) when the patients can bend their knees at least 100 degrees, as cycling is considered as an excellent conditioning and building exercise for the quadriceps muscles. As the patient's ability to pedal the bike with the operative leg improved, the therapist will increase the resistance. * Hamstring exercises: After 6 weeks, the hamstring muscles will be exercised by the patient pulling the heel back producing a hamstring contraction. Then, Patients will start ankle exercises program that includes: * Standing calf raises * Foot lift * Ankle eversion exercises * Ankle Plantarflexion exercises
