Aspetar clinical practice guideline on rehabilitation after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This guideline was developed to inform clinical practice on rehabilitation after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) and was performed in accordance with the Appraisal of Guidelines for REsearch & Evaluation II (AGREE II) instrument and used the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) approach. A Guideline Development Group systematically searched and reviewed evidence using randomised clinical trials and systematic reviews to evaluate the effectiveness of rehabilitation interventions and guide clinicians and patients on the content of the optimal rehabilitation protocol after ACLR.The guideline targets patients during rehabilitation after ACLR and investigates the effectiveness of the available interventions to the physiotherapist, alone or in combination (eg, exercise, modalities, objective progression criteria). Exercise interventions should be considered the mainstay of ACLR rehabilitation. However, there is little evidence on the dose–response relationship between volume and/or intensity of exercise and outcomes. Physical therapy modalities can be helpful as an adjunct in the early phase of rehabilitation when pain, swelling and limitations in range of motion are present. Adding modalities in the early phase may allow earlier pain-free commencement of exercise rehabilitation. Return to running and return to training/activity are key milestones for rehabilitation after ACLR. However, there is no evidence on which progression or discharge criteria should be used.While there is a very low level of certainty for most components of rehabilitation, most of the recommendations provided in this guideline were agreed to by expert clinicians. This guideline also highlights several new elements of ACLR management not reported previously.

“…The peak MVC torque was recorded and normalized for body mass. In addition, isometric and concentric hamstring-to-quadriceps (H:Q) ratios as an indicator of knee joint stability [18], and symmetry values of the knee flexion and extension strength (limb symmetry index = right leg/ left leg * 100) [19] were calculated.…”

Objective Limited data are available regarding the effects of application of kinesiology tape (KT) on pain and muscular strength in individuals with complete anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear. Thus, we aimed to evaluate the short-term effects of KT on knee pain and maximal strength. Materials and Methods 25 subjects were divided into two groups: a) the control group participants (n=11) were without ACL-tear; and b) the experimental group participants (n=14) were with ACL-tear. Participants in the experimental group were tested under two conditions: with and without KT. Pain was recorded using the visual analog scale, isometric and concentric maximal voluntary contractions (MVCs) were measured using dynamometry, and limb symmetry index was calculated. Results Application of KT causes reduction in pain by 50 % (p<0.05), increases knee flexors and knee extensors isometric MVC and knee extensor concentric MVC at 60°/s angular velocity (p<0.05), and improves limb symmetry (p<0.05), but deficit of MVC as compared to healthy controls is maintained (p<0.05). Conclusions Short-term KT can be an effective tool for decreasing ACL-tear associated pain and muscle weakness.

“…Kinesiotaping (KT) has gained popularity in clinical practice worldwide as a promising method for treatment in musculoskeletal rehabilitation (3). It has been suggested that the benefits of KT arise through increased stimulation of mechanoreceptors and increased interstitial space (20).…”

“…There is evidence of improved perceived functions of the affected knee joint (5,27), gait pattern (5), balance (27,32), and enhanced proprioception (5,27) after short-term application of KT (#3 hours) in individuals with surgically untreated ACL ruptures. In addition, there is evidence of improved muscle strength (after 10 days of KT application after ACL reconstruction) (3,4). Thus, long-term kinesiology tape application can be expected to improve proprioception and motor function in such cases.…”

Kielė, D and Solianik, R. Four-week application of kinesiotaping improves proprioception, strength, and balance in individuals with complete anterior cruciate ligament rupture. J Strength Cond Res 37(1): 213–219, 2023—Kinesiotaping (KT) is common in musculoskeletal rehabilitation, but whether it is efficacious for surgically untreated anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) ruptures is unknown. Therefore, we evaluated whether a strategy of physiotherapy plus KT would be superior to a strategy of physiotherapy alone on subsequent proprioception and motor function. Men aged 28.1 ± 6.7 years with complete ACL ruptures were randomized to either a control (physiotherapy) or an experimental group (physiotherapy + KT) for a 4-week period. Changes in balance were assessed on the injured leg using a force platform. Knee angle reproduction, maximal voluntary contraction (MVC), and rate of force development (RFD) were measured using dynamometry, and pain was recorded using a visual analog scale. Decreases in knee pain and improvements in angle reproduction were observed in both groups (p < 0.05), with a greater effect on angle reproduction in the experimental group (p < 0.05). Both groups demonstrated increased isometric knee flexor MVC and RFD values (p < 0.05), but an increase in RFD of the knee extensors was observed only in the experimental group (p < 0.05). Furthermore, the MVC of concentric knee flexors at 60°·s−1 increased only in the experimental group (p < 0.05), whereas concentric MVC at 180°·s−1—resulting in greater hamstring-to-quadriceps ratios—increased in both groups (p < 0.05). Balancing ability on the injured leg increased only in the experimental group (p < 0.05). Thus, KT plus physiotherapy was beneficial in the treatment of proprioception, strength, and static balance in these individuals with an ACL rupture.
