Laval University Rouge et or Post ACL Surgery Program Effectiveness
October 25, 2019 updated by: Laval University
Laval University Rouge et Or Post Anterior Cruciate Ligament Surgery Readaptation Program Effectiveness With Amateur Athletes: A Randomised Clinical Trial
The main objective is to compare the effectiveness of two readaptation programs post anterior cruciate ligament surgery.
Laval University Rouge et or program is to be compared with the intervention guide from the CHU.
Amateur athletes are recruited 3 months post ACL surgery.
The level of confidence, symptoms, functional recovery level and muscle strength are assessed and compared between the two groups at 3, 4, 5, 6 and 9-month post surgery.

Detailed Description
It is experimental research with pre-post repeated measure with a control group.
The subjects are randomised either in the intervention group (Gr PRORO-UL) or the control group (Gr CHU-CP).
The assessor is blinded to the randomisation.
Both groups receive their program at the first assessment at three months post-ACL-surgery.
They are strongly encouraged to continue their follow-up in physiotherapy to ensure the program is suitable to their individual progression.
The participants are assessed again at 4, 5, 6 and 9 months post surgery to measure their progression.
A weekly journal sent by e-mail is to be filled to ensure the subjects train according to their program attribution.
It is a randomised control trial with a blinded assessor.

Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
EXPERIMENTAL: Rouge et Or program
Rouge et Or program group follow a detailed program that they do on their own.
It is made of three cycles of four weeks each.
Every cycle contains 3 training sessions by week with a minimum of 24 hours between sessions.
The training volume is modulated for every cycle and every week.
Each training sessions is made of 6 warm-up exercises followed by 6 training exercises.
The exercises are a mix of strengthening, endurance, plyometric, neuromuscular control and dynamic stability.
The exercises change every month with a progressively increasing difficulty towards the end to mimic return to sport demands.
|
It is a detailed, structured and precise training program.
It is used from the third-month post ACL surgery to the sixth month.
Other Names:
|
ACTIVE_COMPARATOR: CHU intervention guide
CHU intervention guide group follow the standard CHU protocol.
At three months post-surgery, the protocol suggests progressing the exercises without precisely suggesting exercise, parameter or frequency.
|
From the third month to the sixth month, it outlines the progression to have in the training without precise information on exercises, parameter or frequency.

Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Change in Knee Outcome Survey-Activity of Daily Living Scale
Time Frame: 3, 4, 5, 6 and 9 months post-surgery
|
Questionnaire ranging from 0 to 70 over 70 where 70 means no limitation in activity of daily living.
There is 14 questions with each graded answer providing 0 to 5 points that are summed together and expressed in percentage.
