Utilization of Rehabilitation Prior to Surgery Among Patients With Anterior-cruciate Ligament Knee Injury (prehab-ACL)

April 19, 2024 updated by: Nantes University Hospital

Utilization of Rehabilitation Prior to Surgery Among Patients With Anterior-cruciate Ligament Knee Injury: a Retrospective Review of the French National Health Database (Prehab-ACL)

This research aims to assess physiotherapy utilization in the treatment of patients with an anterior-cruciate ligament knee injury, when delivered before their surgery (prehab), and its potential effects on absence from work, and patients global health consumptions (before and after the surgery).

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Based on the codes generated from French National health database, patients with prehab (+post-surgery rehabilitation) will be compared to patients receiving only post-surgery rehabilitation

Eligibility Criteria

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Preparing the patient for a surgical procedure had been well known in physiotherapy.

Presurgical exercise aiming to improve functional capacity before a surgical procedure leads to more rapid postoperative recovery compared with patients who remain physically inactive through the preoperative period

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

- First episod of ACL-surgery

Exclusion Criteria:

  • No history or previous ACL-surgery
  • No rehabilitation after surgery
