Knee Rehabilitation on Skates1558At the beginning of each training a short evaluation of the past days was initiated by the treating physiotherapist. Subjects were asked for delayed physical responses in regards to the previous training day. In addition, at the end of each training subjects were asked to shortly evaluate the training. Study ProcedureParticipants were recruited consecutively at the Tjongerschans hospital in Heerenveen, the Netherlands. Eligible participants were > 18 years of age and had suffered unilateral ACL injury requiring ACL reconstruction as defined by the Dutch guideline on ACL injury. Exclusion criteria were; additional surgical procedures altering the postoperative rehabilitation protocol (e.g. meniscal repair), a history of fractures in the lower extremities or spine, previous osteotomy procedures in the lower extremities, previous musculoskeletal surgery in the lower extremities, neurological conditions leading to musculoskeletal disorders, and the inability to complete Dutch questionnaires. As soon as an eligible patient was scheduled for an ACL reconstruction by the treating surgeon, the patient received the study information and was asked to participate. During the inclusion period, the mean interval between consultation and surgery was aimed to be 6 to 8 weeks.Inclusion started in May 2019 and ended upon enrolment of the 15thparticipant in November 2020.Baseline was defined as the moment of inclusion. Follow up measurements were performed 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after ACL reconstruction. FeasibilityFeasibility was determined as: • Less than 30% loss of compliance. • Overall patient reported rating > 6/10 on NRS scale at the end of rehabilitation • No serious adverse events, related to the rehabilitation, as defined by the Central Committee on Research Involving Human Subjects.1Mark Zee.indd 155 03-01-2024 08:56
