简要总结
The objectives of this study were to find the effect of Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) on pain ,Range of motion (ROM), Muscle strength, proprioception and functional abilities and to compare the change in pain, Range of motion, muscle strength, proprioception and functional abilities outcome between the control and experimental group.
The subjects were randomly allocated in group1(conventional) and group2(experimental) with 13 subjects in each group. Group 1 was given conventional therapy and Group2 was given conventional therapy along with Low-level laser therapy(LLLT) 5times a week for 3weeks .The pain, Range of motion (ROM), muscle strength ,proprioception and Functional abilities were checked using NRS, Digital Goniometer, Chattanooga Bio pressure feedback, Mean angle of error(Digital goniometer) and Womac Pune version respectively after ACL Reconstruction in knee at pre before the intervention started, 3 weeks after the intervention and at 6 weeks (follow up) reading .The following measurements were taken at pre, 3weeks and 6 weeks .The study results showed significant improvement in Pain , Range of motion and functional abilities in the experimental group compared to control group with p<0.05.Therefore incorporating Low-level laser therapy(LLLT) in early rehabilitation is a promising inclusion along with conventional therapy in order to enhance recovery and improve the functional abilities , increase range of motion and Reduce postoperative pain after ACL reconstruction in the knee.
