Abstract

AIM: Orthopedic surgery patients frequently delay early rehabilitation due to postoperative discomfort. This is especially true for younger patients with anterior cruciate ligament injuries who are eager to return to sports after discharge. Despite the recognized benefits of early rehabilitation, a standardized protocol for determining safe weight-bearing timelines post-ACL reconstruction is lacking. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of an Intelligent Weight-Bearing Rehabilitation Robot in improving recovery outcomes for these patients.
