Analysis of functionality in patients after surgical rehabilitation of a previous cross connection

Lesions in the anterior cruciate ligament are one of the most common, requiring surgical intervention in many cases. Post-surgery brings functional repercussions to the patient, showing the importance of a rehabilitation focused on factors that will provide improvement in strength, stability and safety for the resumption of sports practice. The aim of this study is to analyze, through the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) questionnaire, the patient's level of functionality after discharge from rehabilitation of the anterior cruciate ligament surgery. This is a descriptive, analytical and cross-sectional study. The study population consisted of individuals aged 18 to 40 years, of both sexes, who underwent physical therapy rehabilitation after surgery. The data were tabulated and analyzed using SPSS (Statistical Package of Social Science) version 20.0, using descriptive and inferential statistics. For the descriptive analysis of the data, absolute and relative frequencies, mean and standard deviation were used. The results show a low functionality of the sample <82.75 (81.2%), and these data can be correlated with the low time of rehabilitation where 43.8%, only performed 2 months, but the results pointed out that the greater physiotherapy time better functionality scores appear.
