“…As regard marital status more than half of patients in the studied groups were married .These subjects' marital status was similar to Christensen, Miller, Burns, & West, (2017) (29) . In contrast, it disagrees with Magnussen et al, (2016) (30) who illustrated that most of their studied sample were single. With reference to educational level, the finding of the study represented that most of both groups were university educated.…”

Background: Rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a common cause of knee instability, requiring ACL reconstructions with about one million completed worldwide annually. Successful (ACL) reconstruction requires physical rehabilitation to help patients return to an active lifestyle. This study aimed toevaluate the effect of exercises program on knee functional outcomes for patients after arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Study design: Quasi experimental research design was conducted in this research. Study sample:Purposive sample of 60 adult patients of both sexes, who were diagnosed as a first-time primary unilateral anterior cruciate ligament injury and undergoing (ACL) reconstructionwere involved in the study and were divided randomly into two groups 30 patients for each group . Setting: The study was conducted at the knee arthroscopic surgery and stadium injuries unit at Mansoura University Hospital as well as the knee surgery outpatient clinic for patients follow up .Tools of the study: Five tools were

“…The intervention period was labelled according to the stages of rehabilitation the intervention spanned; early-stage (0-3 months), mid-stage (0-6 months) and late-stage (0-6 months+). Eight studies investigated through to the late phase [32,35,39,40,44,45,48,49], nine mid-stage [30, 31, 33, 36, 41-43, 46, 47] and two early-stage [37,38]. Only five studies had a follow-up assessment period longer than the intervention period [31,34,37,41,47].…”

“…Studies utilising a retrospective methodology found an association between higher rehabilitation utilisation and significantly higher patient reported outcomes (Knee Outcomes Survey-Activities of Daily Living (KOS-ADL) scale [32,43], Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score subscales [39], patient satisfaction [47] and numerical pain rating scale [43]), greater return to preoperative activities [39,47] and improved Lysholm knee score [39,47]. Finally, in a cross-sectional study, Dempsey et al (2019) found a weak positive correlation with isokinetic knee extension torque and level of supervision [30], while Darain et al (2015) demonstrated a successful return to sport at 6 months with a high frequency of supervised rehabilitation in a case report [33].…”

The Influence, Barriers to and Facilitators of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Rehabilitation Adherence and Participation: a Scoping Review

2020

Background: Outcomes following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction are considered poor. There are many factors which may influence patient outcomes. As such, the purpose of this review was to report on the influence, barriers to and facilitators of rehabilitation adherence and participation after ACL reconstruction, providing information to help clinicians and patients make quality decisions to facilitate successful rehabilitation. Methods: A systematic search of five electronic databases was undertaken in identifying studies from inception to 18 July 2019. The search included English language articles reporting on the influence, barriers to and facilitators of adherence and participation in rehabilitation of patients who have undergone ACL reconstruction. Data extraction and synthesis of included studies were undertaken. Results: Full text articles (n = 180) were assessed for eligibility following screening of titles and abstracts (n = 1967), yielding 71 studies for inclusion. Forty-four articles investigated 'rehabilitation prescription and participation' and 36 articles investigated 'rehabilitation barriers and facilitators'. The results indicate that a moderately or minimally supervised rehabilitation program is at least as effective as a fully supervised high-frequency rehabilitation program, although a longer duration of supervised rehabilitation is associated with improvement in a multitude of functional outcomes. A number of psychological factors associated with rehabilitation adherence were also identified. The most commonly investigated concepts were self-motivation, athletic identity and social support. Patients perceived the therapeutic relationship, interaction with family and friends, self-motivation, fear of reinjury, organisation/lack of time and interpersonal comparison as the most common barriers to and facilitators of rehabilitation. Conclusions: A longer duration of supervised rehabilitation is associated with an increased chance of meeting functional and return to sport criteria; however, the optimal supervised rehabilitation frequency is yet to be determined. Identification of the barriers to and facilitators of adherence and participation in ACL rehabilitation provides an opportunity for further research to be conducted to address personal, environmental and treatmentrelated factors, with the aim to improve rehabilitation outcomes.

“…A structured pre-operative physical rehabilitation programme produces better post-operative functional outcomes (Eitzen, Risberg, & Holm, 2009;Failla et al, 2016;Logerstedt, Lynch, Axe, & Snyder-Mackler, 2013). Supervised physiotherapy is routinely prescribed following ACL surgery (Han, Banerjee, Shen, & Krishna, 2015), and supervised rehabilitation can be associated with better outcomes than unsupervised (Christensen, Miller, Burns, & West, 2017). Physical rehabilitation lasting up to 12 months is recommended after ACLR to restore function and stability to the knee (Adams et al, 2012;Zadro & Pappas, 2018), and to optimise post-surgical outcomes (Grindem, Granan, et al, 2015).…”

Physiotherapists are lead providers of rehabilitation following anterior cruciate ligament injury in New Zealand. Rehabilitation is considered an essential component following anterior cruciate ligament injuries, but there is considerable variability regarding preand post-operative management. This study used data from the Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC) for the years 2013/14 to 2015/16 to gain insight into the physiotherapy management of anterior cruciate ligament injuries in New Zealand. Data were extracted from 647 claims from people with a completed anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction and 221 claims from people with a confirmed injury who did not undergo surgery. In the 12 months following either anterior cruciate ligament injury or surgery, 81% of claimants had fewer than 15 ACC-funded physiotherapy treatments, and 13% of claimants had no ACC-funded physiotherapy treatments. Nine percent of claimants had a previous or subsequent claim for an anterior cruciate ligament injury. Compared to best practice literature, the results indicate a significant number of people in New Zealand received fewer than the recommended number of physiotherapy treatments following anterior cruciate ligament injury. Possible reasons may include the cost of private physiotherapy services, a lack of endorsement from the respective orthopaedic surgeons, decreased patient adherence/motivation and decreased patient understanding of the importance of rehabilitation.
