Individualised Exercise for Adults With an Acute Lateral Patellar Dislocation: a Feasibility Study
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Individualised exercise for Patella Dislocation and Patella Dislocation Recurrent. Completed, enrolled 15 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study is a feasibility study. It will assess areas of uncertainty relating to the implementation of an individualised exercise programme for patients with a recent kneecap dislocation. This will help determine if a future larger study is feasible, and inform the design and conduct of future research that would aim to optimise outcomes after a kneecap dislocation.

Timeline
Interventions
The intervention will be comprised of up to 6, one-to-one physiotherapy sessions, over a maximum duration of 3 months. 1 or 2 extra sessions are allowed if deemed essential by the participant's physiotherapist. Less than 6 physiotherapy sessions can be agreed with the participant if they have achieved their goals. Throughout this time participants will be required to perform an exercise programme a minimum of 3 times per week. The exercise programme aims to increase leg muscle strength and facilitate a return to the participant's usual activities. It may include hopping and change of direction tasks if these are activities the participant would normally do. Behavioural change techniques to increase participant adherence to the exercise programme will also be used.
