Brief Summary:
The aim of the current study is to evaluate the effect of HBOT for acceleration recovery after ACLR.
Detailed Description:
ACL rapture (Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction rehabilitation) is a common injury in sports and cause severe functional problem. The big concern with this injury is the time to return to sport, this is the interest of the athlete.
The preferred treatment today when it comes to active athletes is to have an anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) ,the return to high function and sports after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) surgery lasts about 8 months.
In the last few years, knowledge has been accumulating regarding the effectiveness of the new hyperbaric oxygen protocols in accelerating the healing of wounds and tissue damage. it was found that Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) for ligament injuries in mice improves the quality and speed of recovery. The effect of HBOT on the rate of ligament healing has not yet been properly tested in humans.
The constant search for accelerated recovery in sports injuries along with the benefit of the HBOT in tissue healing processes encouraged the need to investigate the rate of recovery after a sports injury under HBOT. Two previous human studies in which medial collateral tear was tested showed positive effect on pain, physical outcome (decreased edema, range of motion and maximal knee flex) and accelerate the return to play. These findings with the fact that ACL injuries are common among athletes and can limit return to sports, reinforce the need to examine the effect of HBOT following ACLR in the terms of improving and speeding up recovery.
The aim of the current study is to evaluate the effect of HBOT for acceleration recovery after ACLR.
