Progress in Rehabilitation Treatment of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Rupture in Sports Injuries

Abstract

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture is a high incidence of injury in sports medicine, especially in soccer, basketball and other sports requiring sudden stop and change of direction. The annual incidence rate of high-risk sports population is higher, and the risk of female football players is more prominent due to physiological characteristics. Although surgical techniques continue to mature, the quality of postoperative rehabilitation directly determines the effectiveness of joint function recovery and the success rate of returning to exercise. This article systematically reviews the latest developments in the rehabilitation treatment of ACL rupture, with a focus on the innovation of precision assessment systems, the updating of early rehabilitation concepts, the application of advanced technologies, individualized strategies for special populations, and the development of interdisciplinary collaboration models. Research has found that the dynamic evaluation of integrated vertical jumping tests can effectively identify "pseudo rehabilitation", the integrated medical and nursing technology model can significantly shorten the recovery time of joint range of motion, and the combination of virtual reality and isokinetic training can significantly improve muscle strength and functional scores. These advances are driving the transformation of ACL rehabilitation from a traditional experiential model to a more precise, personalized, and multidimensional direction. This transformation significantly improves the postoperative functional recovery rate and significantly reduces the risk of secondary injury. This article provides evidence-based support for clinical rehabilitation practice, helping to optimize rehabilitation plans and improve patient outcomes.
