Abstract
Introduction: Incidence of ACL injuries have become common conservative management with physiotherapy were recorded with good prognosis
Aims and Objectives: The aim of this study was to analyze core strengthening and kinematic exercises using WOMAC scale.
Materials and Methodology: 34 year male with ACL tear was treated with core and kinematic chain exercise from October to 10.12.17 with thrice a week frequency.
Results: Results of pre and post WOMAC score were statistically analyzed showing P<.01.
Conclusion: ACL conservatively treated with due physiotherapeutic means has shown good QOL on this study subject was the main outcome.
Keywords: ACL – Anterior Cruciate Ligament, Core strengthening , Kinematic exercises, WOMAC - Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index, BMI – Body Mass Index, ROM – Range Of Motion.
