The Effect of Plyometric Exercise Intensity on Function & Articular Cartilage Metabolism After ACL Reconstruction

University of Florida·interventional·Posted May 10, 2013·Updated Sep 18, 2014

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Plyometric Exercise for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction. Completed, enrolled 25 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

This is a single-center, randomized, double-blind (subject/evaluator)study. Enrolled patients had anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction and met criteria for advanced rehabilitation. The study included 8 weeks of advanced rehabilitation consisting of low- or high-intensity plyometric exercise. The objective of the study was to determine the effect of plyometric exercise intensity on knee function and knee cartilage in patients with ACL reconstruction.

Interventions

Plyometric Exercisebehavioral

Treatment sessions include a combination of running, jumping and agility activities (plyometric exercise). Each rehabilitation session will also include an abbreviated, standardized program of lower extremity strengthening (leg press, machine squats, knee extensions; 3 sets x 10 repetitions each), flexibility (standing gastrocnemius and quadriceps stretch, hamstrings stretch in long-sitting; 2 x 30 seconds each) and proprioception (standing on foam and a tilt board; 3 x 30 seconds each).
