However, even with exercise rehabilitation, people with ACL reconstruction struggle to regain quadriceps strength and voluntary activation, ECU post-doctoral research fellow Dr. Myles Murphy said. "After reconstructive surgery, one of the biggest issues that patients have is muscle weakness. The biggest...
If yourACL injuryis more serious, then you might be forced to undergoACL repairor reconstructive surgery. After surgery, you can expect a significantly longer recovery period, and won’t be able to get by with just RICE treatment. Instead you’ll probably need to undergo a comprehensive rehabi...
Recovery Times With or without surgery, recovery times can vary, but most people are back on their feet between six to ten months. The five phases of the recovery period are outlined below. Whether or not surgery was had, the below guidelines will help achieve the same goal. Phase 1the f...
The purpose of this study is to examine how the early initiation of physical therapy program after the reconstructive surgery for the injury of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) affects the prognosis. The prognosis was evaluated by knee stability, recovery of ROM, the muscle peak torque, and quest...

Finally, a longer time span between injury and surgery negatively influences outcome. 1Department of Orthopaedic, Trauma, and Reconstructive Surgery, RWTH University Hospital, Pauwelsstraße 30, 52074 Aachen, Germany. 2Department of Medicine, Surgery and Dentistry, University of Salerno, Via S. ...
If testosterone improves recovery after ACL surgery, the same treatment may be used for other injuries that involve trauma and muscle atrophy. Furthermore, this study will examine the effect of trauma with or without testosterone on myogenic regulators in muscle tissue taken during ACL surgery—...
Deficient ACL recovery was noted in four patients (8.5%), none of which required secondary reconstructive surgery. CONCLUSION: The results demonstrate that clinical recovery of ACL function after DIS repair is resultant to both restoration of ACL volume and scar tissue formation. Factors influencing ...
This article presents the case of a high ligue soccer player with a traumatic injury to his left knee occurring during a match for which reconstructive surgery followed relatively quickly. After reconstruction intervention, a personalized rehabilitation intervention followed according...
[21]. These previous findings along with the impact of surgical timing on recovery demonstrate the importance of understanding the relationships between sex [22], age [19], and ACL-RSI score changes following ACL surgery. Research on the ACL-RSI has grown considerably over the past 15-years,...
