Functional and Self-reported Outcomes in Participants With a History of Musculoskeletal
Negative outcomes impact individuals with a history of ACL reconstruction (ACLR) despite
completion of formal rehabilitation and clearance to return to physical activity (PA).
Focused exercises and targeted health education may improve these negative outcomes and
increase quality of life. The purpose of this study is determine the effects of an 8-week
rehabilitation program on strength, sensorimotor function, functional performance and
patient-reported outcomes in patients with a history of ACLR. A secondary aim will be to
identify baseline PA levels and dietary intake patterns in these individuals. Participants
will complete standard knee radiographs and all baseline measures, and resume normal
activities of daily living for one-week while wearing an accelerometer to quantify PA levels
and complete two, 24-hour dietary recalls to examine dietary patterns. After one-week,
participants will come back to the laboratory and complete the pre-intervention assessments
prior to randomization to the exercise or control group. After 8-weeks, participants will
complete all outcome assessments 24-48 hours, 1-month and 3-months post exercise completion.
The investigators hypothesize the intervention group will have significantly better outcomes
post-intervention compared to the control group. In addition, the investigators hypothesize
areas of educational and behavioral intervention related to PA engagement and dietary
strategies to support weight management will be needed.
