criterion-based rehabilitation protocol
accelerated rehabilitation protocol
It's a three phases rehabilitation protocol with a goal-based progression which include a three criterion based postoperative phases: (1) impairment phase, (2) sport-specific training phase and (3) return to play phase. Patients can start with the next phase only if specific goals of the previous phase are achieved
It's a four phases rehabilitation protocol mainly based on the remodeling process of the graft., emphasizing full passive knee extension, immediate weight bearing as tolerated and functional exercises
