Ambulatory Rehabilitation and Follow-up Programme after Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction

Abstract

Since 1997, we have organized an ambulatory rehabilitation and follow up programme after knee anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Our goals were: 1. to improve the prevention and the management of post-operative morbidity; 2. to improve the quality of functional recovery through detailed recommendations for community based physiotherapists and a better commitment of the patient himself to a guided self-training.
