Effects of Continuous Passive Movements vs Intermittent Compression in Patients With Post ACL Reconstruction Surgery

Effects of Continuous Passive Movements Versus Intermittent Compression in Patients With Post ACL Reconstruction Surgery

ACL Reconstruction Surgery remains a prevalent and debilitating condition, despite invasive and non-invasive approaches aimed at reducing pain and improving function. This study investigates the additional benefits of Continuous Passive Motion (device based exercise) and Intermittent Compression Therapy (device based program) in individuals with Post ACL Reconstruction Surgery.

The researcher employs a randomized controlled trial methodology. Participants are enrolled into two groups: one receiving Continuous Passive Motion (CPM), and the other receiving Intermittent Compression Therapy(IC).

Inclusion Criteria:

• Diagnosed by Orthopedic Surgeon and patients who have undergone ACL reconstruction surgery
• Patients who have undergone arthroscopic ACL reconstruction surgery
• Both male and female
• Patients who are within 4th week post-operatively
• Aged between 20-50

Exclusion Criteria:

• Concomitant injuries such as meniscal tears or ligament sprains
• Patients who have undergone previous knee surgery, including ACL reconstruction
• Neurological Condition
• Cardiovascular disease
• Patients with allergies or sensitivities to the materials used in the CPM or IC devices
