New rehab combo may speed knee recovery after ACL surgery

This study tested whether adding functional proprioceptive stimulations (FPS) to continuous passive movement (CPM) therapy helps people recover knee movement and reduce pain after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Twenty-four adults who had ACL surgery took part in a 2-week rehab program, attending sessions five days a week. The goal was to see if the combined approach works better than CPM alone for improving knee mobility and easing pain.
