Summary

"Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is a commonly performed surgical procedure for restoring knee stability in patients following ACL injuries. Despite surgical success, postoperative rehabilitation remains crucial for improving functional outcomes, addressing quadriceps strength deficits, and reducing recovery time.

Conditions

  • Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries

Interventions

COMBINATION_PRODUCT

Group 1 (Experimental Group - OKC + NMES)

OKC Knee Extension Exercises: Seated Knee Extensions: Resistance bands or machine, 10-15 reps, 2-3 sets. Straight Leg Raises: With or without ankle weights, 12-15 reps, 2-3 sets. Quadriceps Isometric Holds: Held for 5-10 seconds, 10 reps, 2-3 sets. Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES): Electrode Placement: Over the motor points of the quadriceps. Frequency: 35-50 Hz. Pulse Duration: 200 microseconds. Intensity: Adjusted for strong yet tolerable contractions. On-Off Cycle: 10 seconds on, 20 seconds off.

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Group 2 (Control Group - OKC Only

Open Kinetic Chain Knee Extension Exercises without NMES. Method \& Details: The same OKC exercises as the experimental group but without NMES. All exercises are supervised by trained physiotherapists.
