The New Injuries’ Risk After Acl Reconstruction Might Be Reduced With Functional Training

Abstract

Objective: The objective of our study was to evaluate if functional training with the Functional Movement Screen (FMS) can reduce the risk of a new injury for patients that underwent an anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Our hypothesis was that the functional training might reduce the risk of a new injury. Methods: Our training protocol consisted of six phases, each one lasting six weeks. It began two months after surgery. The study group was composed of 10 individuals that completed our protocol after ACLR. The control group consisted of 10 people that completed a regular ACLR rehabilitation protocol. The FMS was used to compare the study and control group performance. Patients with a score of 14 or less on the FMS were considered more likely to suffer an injury than those with a score higher than 14. Results: The study group average FMS score was 16.6 compared to the control group at 12.3. Functional training for ACLR rehabilitation added a statistically significant benefit (p < 0.0002) to reduce the risk of a new injury compared to regular protocol. Conclusion: Functional training may be considered an alternative to the regular ACLR rehabilitation to reduce the risk of a new injury before returning to sports. Level of Evidence III, Case control study.

Comparison of the Effect of Sportsmetrics Soccer Training on Movement Performance in Soccer Players with and without Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction

“…Indeed, intervention programs targeting multiple planes of movement are needed to reduce the effective risk of ACL injury (17). While regular muscle strength programs usually work on the sagittal or coronal plane, functional training also works on the transverse plane, where ACL injuries usually occur (18). One of the objectives of our protocol was to prevent ACL injury mechanisms: adduction and internal rotation of the hip, knee valgus, external rotation and anterior translation of the tibia, and eversion of the ankle (19,20).…”

“…Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is certainly one of the surgical procedures most performed by knee surgeons. [1][2][3] The success of the procedure can be evaluated not only by the clinical recovery of the patient, but also by more objective parameters. 4,5 The Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) are metrics that assess clinical outcomes in patients undergoing treatment and consider aspects of the health of the patient from their perspective and not only in the clinical observation of the evaluator.…”

“…A reconstrução do ligamento cruzado anterior (LCA) é certamente um dos procedimentos cirúrgicos mais executados pelo cirurgião do joelho. [1][2][3] O sucesso do procedimento pode ser avaliado não só pela recuperação clínica do paciente, mas também por parâmetros mais objetivos. 4,5 O Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS, na sigla em inglês) são métricas que avaliam os resultados clínicos em pacientes submetidos a um tratamento e consideram aspectos da saúde do paciente na sua perspectiva e não apenas na observação clínica do avaliador.…”
