Summary

The main goal of a rehabilitation program after an ACL reconstruction is to regain mobility and muscle function and ultimately to return to sports participation. Purpose of the study: to investigate the effect of the accelerated rehabilitation program on knee pain, and function in patients post ACLR surgery. Fifty adult amateur males athletes who underwent ACLR surgery participated in this study, their age ranged from 18 to 35years.They were randomly assigned into two equal groups. Group (A) received accelerated rehabilitation protocol and group (B) received conventional physical therapy program. Treatment sessions were conducted 5 times per week for 22 weeks for both groups. All patients assessed pre and post treatment for pain intensity using visual analogue scale (VAS), and knee function using knee injury and osteoarthritis outcome score (KOOS), knee effusion, and LSI of Hop test.
