Abstract
This study was to investigate the effect of therapeutic exercise with electrical stimulation on knee joint pain, range of motion and muscle strength in patients who underwent anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. The subjects of this study were recruited who diagnosed with anterior cruciate ligament rupture and undergoing anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, total of 20 patients were randomly divided to the 10 control groups and 10 experimental groups. The therapeutic exercise was carried out for 3 weeks with three exercises made by referring to the previous study. The measurement tools used were knee joint pain measurements were made using the visual analogue scale, range of motion was measured using a goniometer, and the muscle strength was measured using a handheld dynamometer. In the statistical analysis, to compare about pre and post test the difference in each same groups was accomplished by using the paired t-test, and compare the difference between the different each groups was accomplished by using the independent t-test. The results of the study showed that the experimental group showed significantly enhanced results than the control group(p<.05). Based on these results, it is concluded that it is effective for the recovery of the patient if the therapeutic exercise with electrical stimulation in parallel with knee joint therapy are performed for the patients with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.
