“…One study showed a significant difference in quadriceps strength between patients received preoperative ACL exercises (range of motion, strength and balance exercises) and those without preoperative exercises after surgery. In a study, a significant difference in maximum torque and quadriceps muscle function was observed in the intervention group that performed isokinetic strength training at 60-120 degrees per second for 4 weeks before surgery [25]. Logerstedt et al examined the relationship between quadriceps strength before surgery and knee function after surgery.…”

Objective Quadriceps weakness is common after Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injury and subsequent surgery. Preoperative defects affect postoperative outcomes. The purpose of this review study was to investigate whether preoperative exercises can affect the postoperative outcomes after ACL reconstruction. Methods The searching for papers was conducted in the PubMed database among the studies from 1990 to 2019 using following keywords: ACL preoperative exercise, prehabilitation ACL, and preoperative protocol. The initial search yielded 442 papers. Then, based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 10 papers were selected for the final review. Methodological quality of the studies was assessed by using the Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) scale and the Critical Appraisal Skills Program (CASP). Results Some preoperative exercises (traditional, strength, and neuromuscular) can significantly increase the knee extensor strength and knee function in men and women after surgery in the short and long periods. The mean PEDro score for 8 randomized controlled trials was 6, indicating their moderate methodological quality. Moreover, the CASP score for 2 cohort studies was 10 and 11 out of 12. Conclusion Preoperative rehabilitation consisting of neuromuscular and strength exercises followed by a criterion-based postoperative rehabilitation program cause greater functional outcomes and faster recovery of the knee extensor strength after ACL reconstruction. Preoperative rehabilitation should be considered as a standard treatment to maximize functional outcomes after ACL reconstruction.

Background and Purpose: Quadriceps weakness and disruption of proprioceptive function are common after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and consequently the surgery. Postoperative self-reported outcomes are affected by the preoperative defect. The purpose of this review study was to examine whether preoperative exercises can affect self-reported outcomes. Methods: The study started searching for papers from the PubMed, Scopus, EMBASE, Cochrane, and Web of Sciences databases and extracted the entered studies from 1990 to 2020. Moreover, the terms “ACL preoperative exercise” or “prehabilitation ACL” and “self-reported outcomes” or “postoperative outcomes” were used in the search titles, where 906 papers were finally found. Then, according to the main topic of the present study, and the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 10 papers met the inclusion criteria of the review. The methodological quality of the studies was also assessed through the Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) and Critical Appraisal Skills Program (CASP). Results: The presentation of several preoperative intervention programs (traditional, strength, and neuromuscular training) significantly enhanced self-reported knee function in men and women after surgery in the short and long-term. The mean PEDro score for seven randomized controlled trial studies was found to be 6.3, which showed the moderate quality of the methodology. Moreover, the score for three cohort studies using the CASP scale was 7 out of 12. Conclusion: Preoperative rehabilitation consisting of progressive strengthening and neuromuscular training, followed by a criterion-based postoperative rehabilitation program, had greater functional outcomes after Anterior Cruciate ligament reconstruction. Preoperative rehabilitation should be considered as an addition to the standard of care to maximize functional outcomes after ACLR.
