Interventions

  • Rehabilitation with Exercise and Psychological Support (REPS) — BEHAVIORAL
    Rehabilitation with Exercise and Psychological Support (REPS) is a rehabilitation approach that integrates exercise with psychological support provided by physical therapist and patient training videos.

Study Details

The purpose of this study is to examine ACLR Rehabilitation with Exercise and Psychological Support (REPS), comparing two approaches for providing psychological support along with exercise during ACL reconstruction rehabilitation. In one group, physical therapists have received training that may boost emotional support during rehabilitation. In the other group, physical therapists will not have the training. Both groups will get similar exercises and participate in the same testing. Both groups will also watch short videos during rehabilitation that are specific to their group. Participants will not know to which group they are assigned until the end of the study. Participation will attend a total of four study visits over the course of 6 months, including 1 visit before the surgery and 3 visits during follow-up.

Arms

  • No Intervention: Standard Rehabilitation
    TRIA rehabilitation protocols for ACL reconstruction with bone-patellar tendon-bone autograft or ACL reconstruction with meniscal repair will be used for prescribing exercise. Physical therapists may use adjunctive modalities such as neuromuscular electrical stimulation, blood flow restriction, manual therapy, and cryotherapy at their discretion. Exercise videos prescribed to study participants will be housed in an individual online account per standard clinical procedure (MedBridge, Bellevue, WA).
  • Experimental: Psychological Support (REPS)
    Study participants in Rehabilitation with Exercise and Psychological Support (REPS) will receive the standard rehabilitation treatment AND psychological support through a combination of PT training and patient training videos.
