An interventional study of Hip focused and Standard rehabilitation in Post Operative Anterior Cruciate Ligament Rehabilitation, sponsored by Riphah International University. Completed at 1 site in Pakistan. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 45 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2024-12-27.
Sponsored by Riphah International University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
A Randomized Controlled Trial will be conducted at Mahaban Medical and Research Hospital through consecutive sampling technique on 66 patients which will be allocated using simple random sampling through sealed opaque enveloped into Group A and Group B. Group A will be treated with hip focused exercises and standard rehabilitation protocol while Group B will be treated with traditional exercises at the frequency of 2 sets with 10 repetitions and thrice a week. Outcome measures will be conducted through pain, range of motion, functional disability, muscle strength and endurance after 12 weeks. Data will be analyzed during SPSS software version 21. After assessing normality of data by Shapiro-wilk test, it will be decided either parametric or non- parametric test will be used within a group or between two groups.
Anterior cruciate ligament plays an important role in knee stability and is prone to contact and and non-contact injuries. ACL reconstruction followed by proper rehabilitation is the most successful procedure to restore knee stability and ROM. Keeping in mind the lower limb kinematics and biomechanics the aim of this study will be to see the effects of hip focused exercises on pain, range of motion, functional disability, muscle strength and endurance in patients with post-operative ACL rehabilitation. A Randomized Controlled Trial will be conducted at Mahaban Medical and Research Hospital through consecutive sampling technique on 66 patients which will be allocated using simple random sampling through sealed opaque enveloped into Group A and Group B. Group A will be treated with hip focused exercises and standard rehabilitation protocol while Group B will be treated with traditional exercises at the frequency of 2 sets with 10 repetitions and thrice a week.

Riphah International University is the lead sponsor of 2,133 studies on the registry; 633 are open to participants now.
Counted across the registry records on this site, refreshed daily.
Both males and females of age group between 18 and 45 years
Exclusion Criteria:
Patients with multiple ligament injuries in the knee joint
will receive hip focused exercises and standard rehabilitation protocol with the frequency of 2 sets and 10 repetitions thrice per week for a total of 12 weeks. Pre and post intervention values will be taken on 1st day and after 12 weeks.
Other: Hip focused · Other: Standard rehabilitation
will receive only standard rehabilitation protocol with the frequency of 2 sets and 10 repetitions thrice per week for a total of 12 weeks. Pre and post intervention values will be taken on 1st day and after 12 weeks
Other: Standard rehabilitation
Group A will be treated with hip focused exercises and standard rehabilitation protocol. Hip focused exercises will be comprised of following exercises in phase 1 will be Side lying hip abduction, Hip abduction in standing, Hip extension from prone, Single leg bridge, Side lying clam with resistance while exercises in phase 2 will be same with more repetitions in addition to Side lunges, Forward lunges
Group B will be only be treated with standard rehabilitation protocol. When participant reach full ROM of knee, perform four sets of 20 repetitions of straight leg raising with full extension, and maintain one minute single leg balance on a solid surface with the affected side, subject can transfer to phase 2
The Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS)
The Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) is commonly used in the clinical setting and is convenient to administer and interpret. The NPRS is a numbered scale that begins with zero and ends at ten. Zero indicates no pain, while ten is the worst intensity of pain that individual can imagine
Time frame: 6 WEEK
Universal Goniometer
The goniometer is used to objectively assess active and passive joint ROM. The universal or standard plastic, long armed, 360 degree goniometer is frequently recommended for measurement of knee ROM as the longer arm is thought to reduce error resulting from incorrect placement of the goniometric axis
Time frame: 6th week
WOMAC
The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) was used to measure the physical function of the knee. This scale was shown to be a valid and reliable tool, which was utilized to assess the physical function in patients with knee surgery. This tool comprises 24 questions: 5 questions about pain (0-20 points), 2 questions about stiffness (0-8 points), and 17 questions about physical functions difficulty (0-68 points), which may be completed in less than 5 minutes.
Time frame: 6th week
