Tiivistelmä
The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences between exercise-based rehabilitation strategies for quadriceps strength following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR).
The study design is a quantitative literature review. The articles included were all randomized controlled trials. The Physiotherapy Evidence-Based Database (PEDro) scale was used to ensure methodological quality of the articles in this study. Maximum voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC), peak torque and maximum leg extensor power were used as a measurement outcome in this literature review to evaluate the results.
The evaluation of the results showed statistical significance for cryotherapy combined with exercise, cross-education (CE), eccentric and isometric isokinetic training, and high-intensity resistance training (HRT). There was no statistical significance for blood-flow restriction training (BFRT).
Exercise-based rehabilitation strategies including cryotherapy, CE, eccentric and isometric isokinetic training, and HRT provided the best results in the independent outcome measurements. More research needs to be conducted on the independent interventions, as well as comparing the interventions to one another.
