Introduction

The present research has highlighted the role of preoperative kinetic physical therapy in patients with complete rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament.

Material and method

The study took place at the Fizionova Medical Recovery Center in Târgu Mureș, for 12 weeks, between November 2020 and March 2021, on a sample of 20 subjects, aged between 21 and 45 years. The inclusion criterion was the anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery. The research methods were largely experimental. Statistical analysis included elements of descriptive statistics (mean, median, standard deviation) and elements of inferential statistics. The Shapiro-Wilk test was applied to determine the distribution of the analyzed data series. For the comparison of means, the t-Student test for unpaired data was applied. For the comparison of medians, the Mann-Whitney test was applied for unpaired data.

Results

The experimental group regained its knee flexion degrees earlier than the control group following the preoperative kinetic physical treatment.

Conclusion

Our investigation concluded that immediate postoperative recovery has significant importance on the knee’s functionality, which is much more challenging to recover in case of prolonged immobilization.
