Overview
Brief Summary
This study will evaluate the effect of home-based functional exercise on patients with anterior cruciate ligament rupture reconstruction based on the health belief model. About 360 participants will be randomly allocated into two groups. One group will randomized to receive precautions and rehabilitation progress reminders and other news by optimized WeChat applet regularly, while the other group will randomized to receive the rehabilitation exercise guidance during routine discharge.
Detailed Description
With the development of national fitness and sports, the incidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries has increased. ACL reconstruction is the best treatment for ACL injury. The success rate of surgery is high, but the patient still needs to rehabilitate after surgery, otherwise it is difficult to fully recover knee function. However, the rehabilitation medical resources in China are obviously insufficient. Patients who have undergone ACL reconstruction usually return home to work according to the rehabilitation plan. However, the adherence is still poor, and it is difficult to achieve the expected effect. The WeChat public account and its affiliated applets have been widely used in different health fields. The Health Belief Model (HBM) is a guiding theory commonly used in health education to guide patients for behavioral changes. This study aims to use the WeChat small program to explore the effects of optimized the existing Peking University Third Hospital Sports Medicine WeChat small program by using HBM to improve the adherence of patients with home-based functional exercise after ACL injury reconstruction.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
qualified rate of knee joint activity
Time Frame: 12 weeks after surgery
Knee joint activity reaches 125 degrees or above is judged to be qualified. Qualified rate is equal to the number of people who meet the standard divided by the total number in each group.
Secondary Outcomes
- Visual Analogue Scale(2，6，12 weeks after surgery)
- International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) Subjective Knee Form(2，6，12 weeks after surgery)
- SF-12 scale(2，6，12 weeks after surgery)
