Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction (ACLR)

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the addition of Lateral Extra-Articular Tenodesis (LET) influences postoperative lower-extremity LM recovery following bone-patellar tendon-bone (BTB) Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction (ACLR). We hypothesize that patients undergoing ACLR BTB with LET will demonstrate greater loss of operative-leg LM at 9 months postoperatively compared with patients undergoing isolated ACLR BTB.

The primary goal of this RCT is to evaluate the effects of isokinetic training compared to plyometric training after 4weeks of intervention in patients aged 18-40 years who have undergone ACLR surgery. The primary question to answer is which of the two interventions (isokinetic or plyometrics) has superior effect in the improvement of muscular strength, functional performance and patient-reported outcomes in ACLR patients. Participants will be divided into two groups. both groups received standard rehabilitation for 4 weeks, followed by adding: Group 1: receives isokinetic training, Group 2: receives plyometric training.

The primary goal of this RCT is to evaluate the effect of adding plyometric training after 12 weeks of standard intervention in patients aged 18-40 years who have undergone ACLR surgery. The primary question to answer is does adding plyometrics training to the standard rehabilitation program has superior effect in the improvement of muscular strength, dynamic balance and functional performance in ACLR patients. Participants will be divided into two groups. Group 1 receives standard program for 18 weeks, and Group 2 receives the same standard program for 18 months, but adding the plyometrics training at week 12.
