The Effect of Duration of Supervised Rehabilitation on Outcomes Following Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: A Systematic Review

Listen to this summary

This systematic review aims to determine the impact of the duration of supervised rehabilitation on strength, functional performance, and self-reported outcomes following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). The findings suggest that longer rehabilitation durations may be associated with better outcomes, although the evidence is limited and varied in quality. Ultimately, the review indicates a need for at least six months of supervised rehabilitation to potentially enhance recovery following ACLR.
