简要总结
The aim of this study is to determine the effects of close chain exercises and neuromuscular training on pain, range of motion, strength and endurance in athletes with post operative ACL injury The study will be randomized control trial with the sample size of 36. Subjects will be enrolled according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Patients will be divided into two groups, each with 18 patients. Group A will receive Neuromuscular training while Group B will receive Close chain exercises. The participants will receive treatment sessions over 6-week period. The treatment session will be of 60 minutes with a warm up and cool down period of 10 minutes. Outcome measures in both groups will be assessed by International Knee Documentation Committee Evaluation Form. Score for function, Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) for pain, Goniometer to measure range of motion, single leg hop, squats, triple jump test, push ups for strength and endurance respectively.

结局指标
主要结局
International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) Subjective Knee Form
时间窗: 6 months
The IKDC Questionnaire is a subjective scale that provides patients with an overall function score. The questionnaire looks at 3 categories: symptoms, sports activity, and knee function. The symptoms subscale helps to evaluate things such as pain, stiffness, swelling and giving-way of the knee. The IKDC Subjective Knee Form has been validated in Dutch and Italian as well as English.
Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS)
时间窗: 6 months
The 11-point numeric scale ranges from '0' representing one pain extreme (e.g. "no pain") to '10' representing the other pain extreme.
Goniometer:
时间窗: 6 months
The range of motion is the measurement of movement around a specific joint or body part. To measure the range of motion, doctors, osteopaths, physical therapists, or other health professionals most commonly use a goniometer, which is an instrument that measures angle motion at a joint.
Functional Strength Tests
时间窗: 6 months
Functionality testing following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction can benefit clinicians and patients in determining readiness for return to sport. The goals of testing following ACL reconstruction are to determine the strength of the muscles surrounding the knee, primarily the quadriceps and hamstrings, and evaluate knee stability and functionality through comparing the involved leg with the noninvolved leg. * Single Leg Hop * Test Single Leg Squat * Triple Hop Test * Treadmill * Cycling * Push up test (27)
