Comparison of stress relaxation properties between 3-dimensional printed and thermoformed orthodontic aligners: A pilot study of in vitro simulation of two consecutive 8-hours force application
Authors: Cremonini Francesca , Brucculeri Luca , Pepe Filippo , Palone Mario , Lombardo Luca
Published: March 2024

Objectives:

The study is aimed to examine the stress relaxation of 3d-printed aligners, Tera Hartz TC-85 (Graphy Inc. Seoul, South Korea) and Polyamide (Noxi, Sweden and Martina, Due Carrare, Padova, Italy), in comparison to thermoformed aligners, Zendura FLX (Bay Materials LLC, Fremont, California, USA) and Duran (SCHEU, Iserlohn, Germany).

Material and Methods:

A stress-relaxation test was conducted using a motorized vertical testing bench, TVO-S (AstraLab, Mariano Comense, Italy), applying a constant and controlled pre-set load. Each sample was subjected to a deflection of 0.5 mm while being immersed in water for eight consecutive h at a constant temperature of 37°C. During this period, data were collected at intervals of 1 s. The same test was repeated twice (test 1 and test 2) on the same specimen, in order to simulate the intermittence of deflection force.

Results:

For both Test 1 and Test 2, a total of 28,800 measurements were recorded for each aligner, with one measurement taken per second over a duration of 8 h/test. A statistically significant difference (P < 0.001) was found for all materials and at all time periods were considered. If the percentage of stress relaxation is considered, a significant difference among the four aligners was found as well.

Conclusion:

All materials displayed substantial stress decay during the 8-h period of constant load, although significant differences were observed among the various materials under investigation. The Noxi aligner demonstrated the highest force values in both tests, confirmed by low percentages of stress relaxation ranging from 23% to 32%.

Reduction in histology teaching hours, limited attention span of students, provoked medical educator to adopt to tools where teaching and learning outcome is effective. Availability of such research work kindled the authors to compare the effectiveness of learning outcome of technology aided microanatomy (TAM) teaching with conventional teaching (CT). The objective was to compare the learning outcome of TAM with CT amongst medical students. Data sources: PubMed, MEDLINE, ScienceDirect, SCOPUS, Cochrane, Web of knowledge, and Google Scholar. Study selection: The meta-analysis included all published studies indulged in trailing various methods of histology teaching and focussed on assessing its learning outcome. The learning outcome was assessed by the learner’s score. Data extraction was guided by a predetermined checklist. Analytical approach: Using RevMan 5 software, the mean difference of learning outcome among medical students with TAM and CT of histology were compared. Main outcomes and measures: The learning outcome of CT group was significantly high on comparing with the TAM learning group. Meta-analysis involved 837 subjects who had TAM methods and 1047 subjects who received CT method (Control group) showed an overall significant effect in favor of control group (MD = 0.08, 95% CI 0.05–0.12, P < 0.001). A significant Q statistic (P < 0.001) indicated the presence of considerable heterogeneity (I2 = 100%) which could be due to varied demography and more recent studies. This systematic review and meta-analysis demonstrated no positive effect in the enhancement of learning outcome of medical students with TAM teaching and the conventional teaching still upholds its esteem.

Актуальность. Продолжительность личиночного периода тутового шелкопряда Bombyx mori L. занимает важнейшее место в его жизненном цикле. Изучение взаимосвязи данного признака с селекционными признаками является актуальной проблемой селекционеров в области шелководства. Методы. Исследования проводили в условиях Ташкенской области, с использованием существующих 6 пород и 4 перспективных линий тутового шелкопряда. В экспериментах был прменен метод аналитической селекции. Цель исследований - изучить продолжительность личиночной стадии у селекционных пород, линий и взаимосвязь данного признака с количественными признаками тутового шелкопряда. Результаты. На личиночной стадии, тутовый шелкопряд питается и накапливает необходимую энергию для биосинтеза шелка и воспроизводства следующего поколения. Изучая сроки личиночной стадии развития можно повысить экономическую эффективность кормления червей за счет сокращения данного периода шелкопряда. Поэтому в настоящем научном опыте мы получили предварительные данные о продолжительности личиночного периода и сведения о корреляционной взаимосвязи с ведущими селекционными признаками в популяциях 6 чистых пород и 4 новых селекционных линий тутового шелкопряда, созданных в Узбекистане. Как оказалось, из 6 пород и 4 линий только породы Гульшан и Нафис имели личиночный период 24 дня. Эти показатели зарубежных элитных пород и промышленных гибридов составляют 23 дня. Однако, несмотря на то, что отбор генотипов с коротким личиночным периодом только начался, в наших местных породах удалось выделить породы, с личиночной стадией 24-25 дней.

A Practical Synthesis and X-Ray Crystal Structure of (E)-4-(1-naphthylvinyl)pyridine and Related Compounds
Authors: Moffat James G. D. , Pham-Tran Victoria N. P. , Marczenko Katherine M.
Published: February 2024

The synthesis, structure, and photoreactivity of (E)-4-(1-naphthylvinyl)pyridine ((E)-4-1-nvp; 1) and its coordination compounds has been investigated. Synthesis of (1) via Wittig olefination resulted in a challenging isomer separation and purification process. By synthesizing (1) via a Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reaction, high stereoselectivity and purity was achieved. The crystal structure of (1) revealed significant intramolecular rotation facilitated by CH···pi interactions, ultimately preventing olefin stacking in both the solid-state structure of (1) and a cocrystal with a structural isomer. Novel Ag(I) and Zn(II) coordination complexes that utilize (1) as a ligand were also synthesized and fully characterized, facilitating the examination of the relationship between molecular planarity and secondary bonding contributions via Hirshfeld surface analyses. These findings deepen our understanding of intermolecular interactions involving (E)-4-1-nvp and offer insights for designing novel photoresponsive materials capable of solid-state [2+2] cycloaddition.

Published: February 2024

Enhancing electron transfer between excited states and reducing their energy offset is generally in a trade-off relation, which must be overcome to develop efficient optoelectronic devices. In this study, we systematically investigated, through the analysis of 45 combinations, how to facilitate the electron transfer from the charge transfer (CT) state at the donor/acceptor interface to the triplet excited state of the emitter to improve the triplet-triplet annihilation emission in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). Our analysis, based on the experimental device properties, revealed that the electron transfer is enhanced by the strong CT interaction and, more importantly, by the minimal energy offset (<0.1 eV). This relation was found to be explained by semi-classical Marcus theory with a small reorganization energy of below 0.1 eV. Furthermore, our analysis led to the discovery of a novel donor/acceptor combination for OLED, yielding an efficient blue emission with an extremely low turn-on voltage of 1.57 V.

Published: February 2024

The fabrication of conducting polymers combined with metal oxides presents a promising avenue for the development of hybrid capacitive electrode materials. In this study, we employed a potentiostatic electrochemical polymerization method to in-situ synthesize integrated conductive polyaniline (PN) composites with various cheap and non-toxic metal oxides, including polyaniline zinc oxide (PNZ), polyaniline iron (III) oxide (PNF), and polyaniline zinc ferrite (PNZF). Thorough material characterization was conducted to gain insights into their morphological, structural, and compositional attributes. The synthesized hybrid electrode materials were then investigated for their energy storage capabilities using symmetrical supercapacitors in both two and three-electrode setups, employing cyclic voltammetry (CV), galvanostatic charge-discharge (GCD), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Notably, the PNZF composite exhibited superior supercapacitive performance, attributed to its porous morphology and uniform distribution of ZnFe2O4 particles. The symmetrical supercapacitor constructed with PNZF demonstrated a high specific capacitance of 791.3 F g-1 at 1.0 A g-1, and a power density of 1058.4 W kg-1, an energy density of 136.4 Wh kg-1, and excellent cyclic stability, retaining 86.1% of its initial capacitance after 4000 cycles. These findings underscore the suitability of PNZF as a hybrid electrode material for supercapacitor applications, based on its outstanding electrochemical performance. Our study offers valuable insights into the structural, optical, and electrochemical properties of PN composites, particularly PNZF.

Authors: Hutajulu Nora Lestari , Arinda Putri Lestari Febriyani
Published: March 2024

The utilization of social media by state institutions holds great promise in fostering digital innovation. However, its current implementation remains limited to one-way information dissemination. Hence, this study aims to explore how social media can play a pivotal role in encouraging community digital participation, particularly concerning the adoption of digital rupiah. Additionally, it investigates the influence of institutional trust on digital participation, as higher public trust is presumed to facilitate greater engagement in digital initiatives. Employing a confirmatory quantitative approach, the research hypothesis was rigorously tested. A total of 300 responses were collected through an online survey conducted via Google Forms. These responses were subsequently subjected to analysis using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) via the SmartPLS 3.0 tool. The study's findings indicate a substantial positive effect of social media on digital participation. However, contrary to expectations, the level of trust in institutions was not found to have a significant effect on digital participation. These results shed light on the significance of social media as a catalyst for community involvement in digital initiatives, offering valuable insights for policymakers and institutions seeking to enhance digital adoption and innovation within the community.

Suggestions and Considerations for Application of Movement Screens to Clinical Practice
Authors: Skibski Andrew , Onate James , Mangum L. Colby
Published: March 2024

Pre-participation and return to activity functional assessments are commonly used in clinical practice to assess movement quality and identify athletes’ limitations. While there are slight differences between each specific test battery, general guidelines suggest that the tests be completed without a warm-up. This has been suggested because dynamic stretching may improve range of motion and athletic performance. However, athletes typically warm up prior to participating in sport. Therefore, researchers should investigate the acute effects of dynamic stretching on functional tests and movement screens and evaluate other factors that may influence performance on these test batteries. Scientific evidence for standardized implementation of various movement screens is lacking, and future research should aim to identify gaps in the literature to allow clinicians to properly implement evidence-based practice functional assessments. The purpose of this commentary is to discuss various considerations for implementing movement screens and assessment tools into clinical practice.

Authors: Mohrsen Anders , Sørensen Thomas , Lund Henrik , Rasmussen Steven Zartov , Jensen Asger , Skov Katrine Bruun , Rathleff Michael Skovdal
Published: March 2024

Introduction

Lateral ankle sprain is the most common ankle injury and up to 40% of those who sustain a lateral ankle sprain will develop chronic ankle instability (CAI). The aim of this study was to explore the thoughts and expectations of CAI-patients concerning their condition and expectations of care in an orthopedic setting. 

Study Design

Qualitative study

Methods

Nine semi-structured one-to-one interviews were conducted with CAI-patients who were referred to an orthopedic setting. Interviews were recorded, transcribed, and analyzed using systematic text condensation with an inductive goal free approach. 

Results

Seven themes emerged. The themes were Injury history and symptoms (Lateral ankle sprain during sport, pain and instability), Information from health professional (conflicting information about management and prognosis), Management (mental and physical challenges), Expectation and hope (explanation of symptoms, prognosis and imaging to provide clarification of condition), Activity and participation (restriction in sport and daily life and feelings of uncertainty), Support (support from family/friends) and Identity (low ability to participate in sport and social life result in loss of identity). 

Conclusion

The impact of CAI exceeds an experience of pain and instability. Patients experienced loss of identity, having to manage uncertainty regarding their diagnosis and prognosis and had hopes of being able to explain their condition.

Why Your Patient May Need an ACL Reconstruction Plus Lateral Extra-Articular Tenodesis Procedure
Authors: Momaya Amit , Harris Chandler , Hargreaves Matt
Published: March 2024

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears are one of the most common knee injuries experienced by active individuals engaging in cutting sports. Despite improved surgical techniques and rehabilitation, the return to sport rate and re-tear rates remain unsatisfactory. Lateral extra-articular tenodesis (LET) is a procedure that has been growing in interest when performed in conjunction with ACL reconstruction. The benefits of adding an LET procedure to an ACL surgery may include greater rotational stability, decreased re-tear rates, and improved return to play.

Quality communication using varying parameters for wireless mobile ad hoc networks
Authors: Thamizhmaran K. , Prabu K.
Published: February 2024

Wireless Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) present topologies where nodes act as both hosts and routes, necessitating efficient routing protocols to handle frequent route updates and transmission congestion. This paper proposes a novel routing algorithm, Fuzzy Controller Ad hoc On-demand Distance Vector (FC-AODV), to address these challenges. The FCAODV algorithm is designed to improve packet delivery ratio, throughput, end-to-end delay, packet loss, remaining energy, and routing overhead compared to the traditional AODV protocol. Through extensive simulations using NS 2, the proposed algorithm demonstrates superior performance across varying network scenarios. Results indicate an average increase of 12.4% in packet delivery ratio, 10.27% in throughput, and a decrease of 5.37% in end-to-end delay compared to AODV. Additionally, FC-AODV reduces packet loss by 5.57%, increases remaining energy by 6.4%, and decreases routing overhead by 6.37%. Future research directions include applying the FC-AODV concept to satellite networks, exploring the integration of shortest path algorithms, and evaluating FC-AODV in real-time network environments.
Evaluation of fixed assets of electric power enterprises-operators of the distribution system under the conditions of the post-war reconstruction of Ukraine
Authors: Tseben R.L.
Published: March 2024

The article is devoted to the assessment of the fixed assets of electric power companies-operators of the distribution system under the conditions of the post-war reconstruction of Ukraine. Attention is focused on areas of criticism of the concept of historical costs. Considerable attention has been paid to the advantages and disadvantages of the approaches of researchers to fair value asset valuations and cost asset valuations. The advantages and disadvantages of using fair value when making management decisions are highlighted. The sectoral features of the assessment were considered for the purpose of forming investment projects in the renewal of fixed assets of electric power enterprises-operators of the distribution system and the development of the distribution system. The majority of electric power enterprises-operators of the distribution system choose a revaluation model for classes of fixed assets and carry out revaluations of fixed assets. The algorithm for determining the asset valuation base with the aim of transitioning to stimulating regulation (RAB-regulation) was studied. It was found that the basis of asset valuation can be the market value or the residual value of replacement (reproduction). The expediency of applying the concept of asset impairment assessment in electric power enterprises-operators of the distribution system has been established. A method of testing for the reduction of utility of fixed assets of electric power companies-operators of the distribution system is proposed, with the help of which internal users will make decisions regarding their further safe operation and the need to find sources of investment in the restoration of distribution networks.

The rising demand for fish as the primary protein source for human consumption is a
continuous challenge to meet. Modern-day studies have exploited microalgae as an
alternative plant-protein source to replace fishmeal. However, it is critical to protect the
fish culture from toxic metal accumulation, which is dangerous to both the organisms and
consumers. Hence, this research aimed to study the effects of using microalgae bioproducts on the growth performance and heavy metal accumulation in the muscle tissue of
Oreochromis niloticus. In this study, 2% of Scenedesmus sp. cultivated in Bold Basal
Medium and wet market wastewater was partially substituted to replace fishmeal. The
physicochemical properties of formulated feed were analyzed and compared between
control, formulation 1 and formulation 2. The fish were cultured for 12 weeks, and their
weight gain was monitored weekly using an analytical balance. The muscle tissue samples
were collected and digested using 37% HCl and 65% HNO₃. As a result, the growth
performance of the fish in formulations 1 and 2 showed a positive trend and a higher
average growth rate of up to 43.38 and 44.85 g, respectively. The effect of seven heavy
metals, such as zinc, iron, copper, lead, mercury, manganese, and cadmium, on the fish
was analyzed using the Inductive Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICPMS)
technique. An analysis of variance indicated a significant difference (p < 0.05) for zinc,
copper, iron, lead, and mercury concentrations but not for manganese and cadmium (p >
0.05). It can be deduced that the inclusion of 2% Scenedesmus sp. in the diet formulation
results in a minor variation in fish growth performance. However, this could contribute to
maintaining and improving the growth rate of O. niloticus and the concentration of heavy
metals in their muscle tissue. Continuous examination of heavy metal accumulation in fish
is necessary to ensure the safeness and nutritional quality are adequate for human
consumption.

Authors: Baiketuerxun Palihati , Liu Xiaofeng , Li Wenqiang , Liu Jinkai , Su Yanzhu
Published: March 2024

Purpose: To compare the curative effect of two minimally invasive techniques for neurologically intact thoracolumbar fractures. Methods: 37 patients with type A fractures without neurological deficits were selected and divided into two groups. Among them, 18 patients received percutaneous pedicle screw fixation (PPSF group), and 19 patients were treated using a mini-open Wiltse approach with pedicle screw fixation (WPSF group). The clinical outcomes, surgery-related results, and radiological findings were compared between the two groups. Results: The length of incision, intraoperative blood loss, post-operative hospitalization time, satisfaction, visual analog score (VAS), and Cobb’s angle between the two groups showed no significant differences (P > 0.05). However, the operation time and the number of intraoperative fluoroscopy of the WPSF group were significantly lower than those of the PPSF group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Both minimally invasive techniques are effective for neurologically intact thoracolumbar fractures. Nevertheless, the mini-open Wiltse approach has lower radiation exposure and a shorter learning curve compared with PPSF. A larger sample, multi-center randomized controlled study is necessary to prove the clinical effectiveness of the Wiltse approach.

Analysis of the Subtitle Translation of The Shawshank Redemption from the Perspective of the Skopos Theory
Authors: Qi Jihang
Published: March 2024

Translation is an important communication skill between different languages. In modern society, audiovisualproducts are distributed to worldwide areas as a popular means of mass media. As the globalization of economy and culture is advancing in the new century, audiovisual subtitle translation plays an increasingly important part. Good subtitles can enhance the audience’s experience of appreciating foreign films and make cultural communication more effective. This thesis conducts a brief survey on the strategies for film subtitle translation using the case study of the famous film The Shawshank Redemption. In this paper, based on Skopos theory, the author made a comprehensive analysis of subtitling activities and pointed out that subtitling, as a specialized area of translation, is not only guided by translation studies but also under the constraints of film properties. The Skopos theory of film subtitle translation is to provide, within the constraints of time and space, a well-translated subtitle that can contribute to a good understanding of what is happening on the screen. In short, the end justifies the means. Therefore, during the process of subtitle translation, the subtitler should take all the factors into consideration to identify the translation purpose, and then adopt corresponding translationstrategies. From this perspective, the author takes the Skopos theory as instruction and applies the reduction and addition method to analyze the film subtitle translation. In the age of globalization, foreign films are increasingly entering people’s lives. Watching foreign films is a popular and effective way to understand foreign cultures. However, in China, subtitle translation has not attracted as much academic attention as it deserves and few theories could be appropriately applied to subtitle translation. Therefore, the author hopes that subtitle translation could be paid more attention in terms of crosscultural communication.
Analysis of the Characteristics and Development Direction of Services Trade in Shandong Province of China
Authors: Yu Huiqian
Published: March 2024

Shandong is a significant province for foreign trade in China; however, it still faces shortcomings in the development of its service trade, as outlined below. Firstly, the scale of service trade is limited. Shandong’s service trade volume ranked sixth in China in 2022, lagging considerably behind Shanghai, Guangdong, Beijing, Zhejiang, and Jiangsu. Secondly, the proportion of service trade in Shandong compared to the overall national services trade volume falls below the national average, with the per capita scale even lower than the national average. Thirdly, Shandong’s service trade accounts for less than 10% of the province’s foreign trade, which is 3 percentage points below the national average. The insufficient development of Shandong’s service trade is mainly attributed to the weak performance of its own service industry and the limited scale of attracting foreign services investment. Accelerating the development of producer services in Shandong, promoting the intelligent upgrading of consumer services, and continuously promoting reform and opening up in the service sector will be conducive to achieving high-quality development of services trade in Shandong.

Effect of Gluten Free Casein Free Diet on Maladaptive Behavior in Autistic Children: Meta-Analysis
Authors: Nurul Hakim Ruliany Yuni , Tamtomo Didik , Murti Bhisma
Published: February 2024

Background: Children with Autism tend to experience gastrointestinal disorders more often. Interactions between the gut and brain microbiome influence mood and behavior in health and disease. Diet therapy, specifically the gluten and case-free diet (GFCF) is an elimination diet that involves removing certain proteins from the normal diet, such as gluten and casein. The right intervention can change behavior for the better and through the right handling. This study aims to estimate the effect of a case-free gluten-free diet on maladaptive behavior in autistic children, through a meta-analysis of primary studies conducted by previous authors.
Subjects and Method:  This study is a systematic review and meta-analysis with the following PICO, population: Autism children, intervention: gluten-free case-free diet, comparison: no case-free gluten-free diet, outcome: maladaptive behavior. The articles used in this study were obtained from three databases, namely PubMed, Google Scholar, and Science Direct, using the search key “Diet Gluten Free Casein Free” OR “NonDiet Gluten Free Casein Free” OR “GFCF” AND “Autism” OR “Autism” AND “Maladaptive” AND “Randomize Controlled Trial” OR “RCT”. The included article is a full-text Randomized Controlled Trial study designed from 2002 to 2022 and reports the mean and SD in multivariate analysis. The selection of articles is done using PRISMA flow diagrams. Articles were analyzed using the Review Manager 5.4 application.
Results:  A total of 7 randomized controlled trial studies conducted in the Americas, Europe, and Asia were selected for meta-analysis. Autistic children who received casein-free gluten-free had an average score of 0.11 units of maladaptive behavior lower than those who were not given a diet (SMD= 0.11 95% CI= .035 to 0.13; p= 0.360).
Conclusion:  The casein-free gluten-free diet has an effect on reducing the risk of maladaptive behavior in children with autism.

Published: February 2024

Background: One of the efforts to improve the quality of life and patient safety in hospitals is the use of the Early Warning Score (EWS). The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of EWS on the length of stay and mortality of non-surgical patients in the intensive care unit of Dr. Moewardi Hospital Surakarta.Subjects and Method:  This study is an observational study conducted using a prospective cohort study. A purposive sampling study conducted on June 10 - July 10 was carried out by taking a sample of 120 non-surgical patients in the ICU of Dr. Moewardi Hopital, Surakarta with inclusion and exclusion criteria. This study chose the early warning score as the independent variable and length of stay and mortality as the dependent variable. The method of collecting data on EWS, length of stay, and mortality was using an observation sheet filled out by the researcher. This study assessed differences in baseline characteristics and outcomes using the Chi-Square test and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA).Results:  There is a statistically significant effect of EWS on length of stay (p = 0.024). EWS also has a statistically significant effect on mortality p<0.001.Conclusion:  There is an effect of EWS on the length of stay and mortality of non-surgical patients.Keywords:  EWS, length of stay, mortality, non-surgical patients, intensive careCorrespondence:  Luthfiana Nadhiifa Khoirunnisa.

Pulmonary Hypertension in Pregnancy: A Case Report
Authors: Wasyanto Trisulo , Anggraini Nutria Widya Purna
Published: February 2024

Background: Pulmonary Hypertension (PH) is a disease characterized by distressing symptoms and decreased life expectancy due to the narrowing of the blood vessels of the lungs, which often leads to right heart failure. The prevalence of PH in women is 97 cases per million, with 64% of the main causes of PH in pregnancy congenital heart defects, resulting in a very high maternal and fetal mortality rate.
Case Report: A 38-year-old G4P1A2 31-week gestational age complained of shortness of breath for 5 days. Physical examination revealed blood pressure was 107/62 mmHg, Heart Rate was 98 beats per minute, respiration 40x per minute, and SpO2 88% with NRM 10 Lpm. The heart examination obtained heart sound I -II regular and a systolic murmur was heard between the left 2nd ribs. Abdominal examination was single fetus, intrauterine, breech presentation, His (+), fetal heart rate 160 beats per minute. vaginal toucher 2 cm in labour. ultrasound examination singles fetal, transverse lies, with an estimated fetal weight of 1600 grams. Echocardiography finding: ASD II L to R shunt with LV EF 60%(T), 62% (S), dilated RA-RV, TR severe, MR mild, High Probability of Pulmonary Hypertension. The patient was diagnosed with Dyspnea, Pulmonary edema caused by cardiogenic, ASD II, High probability of PH, NYHA IV, and Breech presentation in labor. Decided to perform a caesarian section and sterilization. The Male baby was born with 1570 grams Apgar Score 3-5-7. post operation patient was admitted to ICU. Twelve hours after the operation the patient had decreased control and became a PH crisis then the patient was declared dead.
Results: The death of the patient, in this case, was caused by cardiogenic shock due to Pulmonary Hypertension Crisis.

Published: February 2024

Background: The Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) is a ligament that functions to limit the movement of the tibia toward the anterior and excessive rotation, while the meniscus serves as shock absorption, load transmission, and the stabilizer of the knee joint. About 22% to 86% meniscal tear incidences occurring along with ACL injuries is. The study aims to determine the role of physiotherapists in the postoperative rehabilitation process of patients of ACL Reconstruction (ACLR) and meniscal repair in preventing postoperative complications and functional abilities of patients.
Case Report: The patient was a 35-year-old adult male who suffered a complete tear in the ACL and meniscus of the left knee. The patient underwent ACLR and meniscal repair with arthroscopic surgery 2 years after injury with Bone-Pattelar tendon-bone autograph. 2 weeks post-surgery the patient visited the physiotherapy polyclinic with medical conditions of difficulty in bending and straightening the knee, still feeling pain and thick in the knee area.
Results: The physiotherapist program was conducted three times and it was a home program-based exercise. The physiotherapist program and outcomes used in the first phase focused on exercises to improve ROM (Goniometer), oedema management (Medline), pain reduction (Numerical Rating Scale), activation exercises, and surrounding muscle strength (Sphygmomanometer), and improve functional ability (Tegner Lysholm Knee Scale) as well as the provision of home programs Performed by regular monitoring of exercise intensity using isometric, isotonic, and isokinetic exercises, which were given according to the concept of progressive loading.
Conclusion: This case study shows that surgery combined with a comprehensive physiotherapy program plan in ACLR and meniscal repair cases, as well as adding home-based exercise programs with intense monitoring, generate more effective results.
