Abstract

The present study provided a systematic review with meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials involving the effectiveness of various rehabilitation methods that have been implemented for the treatment of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). The review of the literature revealed the following as evidence for effective ACLR rehabilitation: early intervention strategy focused on restoring range of motion, muscle strength, and ligament stability with the utilization of closed kinetic chain exercises. The literature supports the use of dynamic intraligamentary stabilization, which should also be implemented in the rehabilitation protocol within the first three months after surgery. The research suggests that the patient should undergo at least 30-90 minutes of cryotherapy immediately following ACLR surgery. There is also some evidence regarding the effectiveness of neuromuscular rehabilitation training programs, but further investigations are needed. Future research should consider the timing of rehabilitation as well as supplemental rehabilitation exercises to continue to improve the quality of care delivered to patients following ACLR.

前交叉韧带重建后康复方案的评估:系统回顾

本研究对随机对照试验进行了系统回顾和荟萃分析，研究了用于治疗前交叉韧带重建(ACLR)的各种康复方法的有效性。文献综述显示，ACLR有效康复的证据如下:早期干预策略侧重于恢复运动范围、肌肉力量和韧带稳定性，利用闭合动力链练习。文献支持动态韧带内稳定的使用，也应在术后前三个月内的康复方案中实施。研究表明，ACLR手术后患者应立即接受至少30-90分钟的冷冻治疗。关于神经肌肉康复训练项目的有效性也有一些证据，但还需要进一步的研究。未来的研究应考虑康复的时机以及辅助康复练习，以继续提高ACLR后患者的护理质量。
