Abstract
Background: In football one of the most common injuries that may occur is the rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). Its incidence is, in football, equal to 0.340events per 1.000 hours of exposure time. The goal of a rehabilitation program after an ACL reconstruction is to regain mobility and muscle function and ultimately to return to sports participation. Purpose: toInvestigate the effects of time-based rehabilitation program versus goal based rehabilitation program on knee function, range of motion, effusion and pain. Methods: Forty eight adult male participated in this study, their age ranged from 18 to 40 years and their body mass index (BMI) was ranged from 18 to 25 kg/m2.They were randomly assigned into three equal groups.group (A) received conventional physical therapy program, group (B) received time based rehabilitation protocol and group (C) received goal based rehabilitation protocol.Treatment sessions were conducted 5 times per week for 22 weeks for all groups. All patients assessed pre and post treatment for pain using visual analogue scale (VAS), effusion using effusion grading scale, ROM using UG and knee functional performance using LSI of hop test battery, KOOS and KCP for single leg jumping-land task. Results: There was a significant improvement in knee pain, ROM, effusion and function in groups A, B and C. but, there was a significant superior improvement in knee functional performance in group B and C than in group A in favor of group C
