Conditions

Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury.

Interventions

Experimental group: 12 men with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury unilateral without associated diseases, after ACL reconstruction surgery, subjects will receive physical therapy three times a w
proper positioning member (guidelines)
passive and active mobilization
flexibility exercises
the open kinetic chain (OKC) and closed kinetic chain (CKC)
exercises on a stationary bicycle
isometric exercises
exercises with weight bearing
proprioceptive training
strengthening exercises for hip, knee and ankle
training bipedal stabilization, balance and gait
running and plyometrics, meeting the following objectives: to reduce pain symptoms, edema and inflammation
prevent muscle atrophy
restore full range of motion
improve neuromuscular control and proprioceptive function
improve muscle strength
promote functionality in the march
facilitate the return to labor and sports activities.  Control group: 12 men without ACL injuries, do not perform any intervention.

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Complete unilateral ACL injury (anterior drawer and Lachman + MRI); Prediction of surgical reconstruction and have no other clinical finding of dysfunction or injury in the affected limb; Do not submit ligament or joint injury in the lower limb or contralateral vestibular and / or neurological dysfunction.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Failure to attend one of the reviews; Interruption of treatment.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
6 months post-reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament and the flexor torque knee extensor and abductor hip, quantified by a portable digital dynamometer (DD-300, Instrutherm Ltd., Brazil) are equal to the contralateral limb. With this, the index of inter-members symmetry (comparing affected limb member and not affected) must be less than or equal to 10%.—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Decreased body sway measured by shifting the center of gravity through the Biodex Balance System (BBS) and increased myoelectric activity of the knee after 6 months of ACL reconstruction, for the record electromyographic activity we used a electromyography (W4X8 model, Biometrics Ltd ., UK) of 8 channels.—
