The Impact of Exercise-Based Rehabilitation on ACL Patients: A Comprehensive Review in the Context of China’s Healthcare System

Abstract

This journal review investigates the effectiveness of exercise-based rehabilitation in assisting ACL patients to return activity level. The main objective of this review is to analyze how exercise-based rehabilitation influences recovery for ACL clients within a Chinese healthcare system. The specific exercise-based rehabilitation that were investigated as part of the study included Nordic, hamstring exercises, aquatic workouts; suspension training and lastly eccentric isokinetic. The outcome factors for ACL healing were improved muscle strength and proprioception, remarkable functional stability levels, regain of full range of motion as well free of pain and reduced risk to re-injury. The retrieval of relevant scholarly sources were gathered from extensive use online databases and publications. The results of the research showed that exercise rehabilitation programs contributed to successful treatment of ACL injuries in Chinese patients. The literature has indicated that aquatic exercises and Nordic hamstring have proved to be successful in enhancing the muscle strength, proprioception among Chinese ACL patients. In addition, suspension training led to the improvement of functional stability and return-to play. Secondly, the study results indicated that rehabilitation training was appropriate for relieving pain and enhancing ROM in people with ACL injuries. Lastly, eccentric kinetic exercise was proven effective in decreasing the chances of re-injury and as a physical activity post injury. Recommendations in the study include targeted exercise-based rehabilitation therapies, and as required instituting combined exercise treatment among patients with ACL.
