Summary

A Randomized Controlled Trial will be conducted at Mahaban Medical and Research Hospital through consecutive sampling technique on 66 patients which will be allocated using simple random sampling through sealed opaque enveloped into Group A and Group B. Group A will be treated with hip focused exercises and standard rehabilitation protocol while Group B will be treated with traditional exercises at the frequency of 2 sets with 10 repetitions and thrice a week. Outcome measures will be conducted through pain, range of motion, functional disability, muscle strength and endurance after 12 weeks. Data will be analyzed during SPSS software version 21. After assessing normality of data by Shapiro-wilk test, it will be decided either parametric or non- parametric test will be used within a group or between two groups.

Detailed description

Anterior cruciate ligament plays an important role in knee stability and is prone to contact and and non-contact injuries. ACL reconstruction followed by proper rehabilitation is the most successful procedure to restore knee stability and ROM. Keeping in mind the lower limb kinematics and biomechanics the aim of this study will be to see the effects of hip focused exercises on pain, range of motion, functional disability, muscle strength and endurance in patients with post-operative ACL rehabilitation. A Randomized Controlled Trial will be conducted at Mahaban Medical and Research Hospital through consecutive sampling technique on 66 patients which will be allocated using simple random sampling through sealed opaque enveloped into Group A and Group B. Group A will be treated with hip focused exercises and standard rehabilitation protocol while Group B will be treated with traditional exercises at the frequency of 2 sets with 10 repetitions and thrice a week. Outcome measures will be conducted through pain, range of motion, functional disability, muscle strength and endurance after 12 weeks. Data will be analyzed during SPSS software version 21. After assessing normality of data by Shapiro-wilk test, it will be decided either parametric or non- parametric test will be used within a group or between two groups.

Conditions

• Post Operative Anterior Cruciate Ligament Rehabilitation

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Hip focused	Group A will be treated with hip focused exercises and standard rehabilitation protocol. Hip focused exercises will be comprised of following exercises in phase 1 will be Side lying hip abduction, Hip abduction in standing, Hip extension from prone, Single leg bridge, Side lying clam with resistance while exercises in phase 2 will be same with more repetitions in addition to Side lunges, Forward lunges
OTHER	Standard rehabilitation	Group B will be only be treated with standard rehabilitation protocol. When participant reach full ROM of knee, perform four sets of 20 repetitions of straight leg raising with full extension, and maintain one minute single leg balance on a solid surface with the affected side, subject can transfer to phase 2
