Abstract

Post ACL Reconstruction surgery displaced mal-alignment of the joint due to re-injury is rare and difficult to treat the condition, especially in young adult and old age when they develop kinesiophobia (fear of pain due to movement) and pain. During this time if re-surgery is not appreciated physical therapy has to play a very important role in the rehabilitation. Combination of different physiotherapy protocols has to be taken into consideration by the well-experienced therapist to show the immediate effect on the pain and other symptoms to build the confidence of the patient during the therapy. In the present study we used the combination of soft tissue myofascial release technique with MT2 blade, mobilization with belt and manual followed by Kinesio tapping to see the immediate effect. Active exercise therapy was included to carry-on the strengthening and to see short-term effect of the entire Physiotherapy protocol. The present study suggested beneficial effects in combination of physiotherapy treatment protocols.
