Analysis By Dr. Mark Rathjen PT DPT CSCS

What does this study mean? Over the 90 studies we saw that the majority of athletes need to be returning to sports at 9 to 12 months postoperatively at this time. Assessment are ready to play every injury including strength top test, functional ability test. Specific movement test and screens for biomechanics should also be used pre-and post and multiple times during the rehab process to facilitate a good recovery. Patient will also have to have a very good understanding of my bio-mechanical analysis and movement patterns with good feedback without extra manual cues.

-Major development over the last 10 years are that Pre-hab and returning to rehab is indicative of the pre-surgical status of perform motion and good quadriceps strength for added return recovery.

How does this affect me? At core physical therapy and sports performance we are the leaders in sports rehab and sports related functional returned exercise protocols. We design and implement applications for your rehab program pre-and postoperatively to get you back to sports in your manner your support position at this time. The rehab programs are unique to your strengths and weaknesses, your support and your position return. Your age and previous history. Your strength and weaknesses on the sports specific position that you play as well and constant reassessment and sports performance implications in the terminal end of rehab for the ACL reconstruction.

What are my next steps?. Contact Core Physical Therapy preoperatively before your ACL reconstruction will do 3 to 6 weeks of preoperative rehab specific to your needs and particular ACL reconstruction technique. We work with your surgeon to get all the goals necessary preoperatively accomplish so that postoperatively your outcomes will not only be better but more efficient and less painful.

 

Evidence-based clinical practice update: practice guidelines for anterior cruciate ligament rehabilitation based on a systematic review and multidisciplinary consensus.

Orig posted http://Review Br J Sports Med . 2016 Dec;50(24):1506-1515. doi: 10.1136/bjsports-2015-095898. Epub 2016 Aug 18.

Aim: The Royal Dutch Society for Physical Therapy (KNGF) instructed a multidisciplinary group of Dutch anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) experts to develop an evidence statement for rehabilitation after ACL reconstruction.

Design: Clinical practice guideline underpinned by systematic review and expert consensus.

Data sources: A multidisciplinary working group and steering group systematically reviewed the literature and wrote the guideline. MEDLINE and the Cochrane Library were searched for meta-analyses, systematic reviews, randomised controlled trials and prospective cohort studies published between January 1990 and June 2015.

Eligibility criteria for selecting studies: Included literature must have addressed 1 of 9 predetermined clinical topics: (1) preoperative predictors for postoperative outcome, (2) effectiveness of physical therapy, (3) open and closed kinetic chain quadriceps exercises, (4) strength and neuromuscular training, (5) electrostimulation and electromyographic feedback, (6) cryotherapy, (7) measurements of functional performance, (8) return to play and (9) risk for reinjury.

Summary: Ninety studies were included as the basis for the evidence statement. Rehabilitation after ACL injury should include a prehabilitation phase and 3 criterion-based postoperative phases: (1) impairment-based, (2) sport-specific training and (3) return to play. A battery of strength and hop tests, quality of movement and psychological tests should be used to guide progression from one rehabilitation stage to the next. Postoperative rehabilitation should continue for 9-12 months. To assess readiness to return to play and the risk for reinjury, a test battery, including strength tests, hop tests and measurement of movement quality, should be used.

Keywords: Anterior cruciate ligament; Rehabilitation.
