Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Rehabilitation
Conditions
Brief summary
The goal of this trial is to test if functional proprioceptive stimulations combined with continuous passive movement is more efficient than continuous passive movement alone to recover knee joint mobility after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in adults. It will also learn about the influence of functional proprioceptive stimulations on pain and pain medication. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does functional proprioceptive stimulations combined with continuous passive movement increase knee joint mobility more than continuous passive movement alone? * Does functional proprioceptive stimulations combined with continuous passive movement reduce perceived pain and pain medication use more than continuous passive movement alone? Researchers will compare functional proprioceptive stimulations combined with continuous passive movement to continuous passive movement alone to see if functional proprioceptive stimulations combined with continuous passive movement is more efficient than continuous passive movement alone. Participants will: * Follow a supervised rehabilitation intervention comprising functional proprioceptive stimulations combined with continuous passive movement or continuous passive movement alone during five days a week for 2 weeks * Attend the clinic five days a week for 2 weeks for rehabilitation, checkups and assessments

Exclusion criteria
* previous ligament reconstruction of the involved knee, reconstruction using quadriceps or patellar tendon autograft * presence of major neurological or musculoskeletal disorders (e.g., multiple trauma, Parkinson's disease, cerebral palsy, stroke, Alzheimer's disease, dementia…) * presence of cognitive impairment (i.e., Mini Mental State Examination score \< 18) * body mass index greater than 35 kg/m².
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Active and passive range of motion | From enrollment to the end of intervention at 2 weeks | Active and passive range of motion of the knee joint (in degrees; °) will be assessed with a 30-cm long manual goniometer at the end of the first session, the fifth and the last rehabilitation session of the 2 weeks intervention. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Perceived pain and pain medication | Throughout the 2 weeks intervention | Pain intensity will be assessed using a visual analogue scale (VAS) ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst imaginable pain). Pain scores will be recorded at the beginning and at the end of each rehabilitation session (n = 10). Participants will reported daily intake of analgesic medication throughout the two-week rehabilitation period by simpling answering "YES" or "NO". |
