Effects of Continuous Passive Movements vs Intermittent Compression in Patients With Post ACL Reconstruction Surgery
Sponsor: Superior University
Summary
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.

Conditions
Interventions
Patients receiving CPM
Group A was treated with Continuous Passive Motion for 30-45 minutes for 2 sessions per day for 8 weeks. CPM can be initiated in the immediate post-operative period, typically within 24-48 hours after surgery. Range of motion will be 0-90 degrees of flexion, with a gradual increase in range over time. Speed is 1-2 cycles per minute. Therapist will Monitor patients for pain and discomfort during CPM, and adjust the protocol as needed. Therapist will Monitor patients range of motion and adjust the CPM protocol to ensure optimal progress. Therapist will monitor patients' knee functions and adjusts the CMP protocol to ensure optimal progress
Patients receiving intermittent compression
Group B was treated with Intermittent Compression Therapy for 30-45 minutes for 2 sessions (morning and evening) per day for 8 weeks. Therapist stand beside the patient .IC therapy initiated in the immediate post-operative period, typically within 24-48 hours after surgery .Pressure of device between 30-40 mmHg and Cycle time is 10-30 seconds inflation, 10-30 seconds deflation. Therapist will Monitor patients for pain and discomfort during IC therapy, and adjust the protocol as needed. Therapist will Monitor patients' swelling and edema, and adjust the IC therapy protocol to ensure optimal progress. Therapist will Monitor patients' knees functions and adjust the IC therapy protocol to ensure optimal progress.
