| Summary: | <p>The purpose of this study was to determine and compare the effect of the online</p><p>platform and face-to-face method in delivering pre-operative exercises on perceived</p><p>pain level, muscle strength, dynamic balance and adherence level. Thirty individuals</p><p>with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear were randomly assigned to an online</p><p>platform group (OPG) and a face-to-face group (FFG). OPG was monitored using</p><p>internet-based media (Google Meet) while the subjects from the FFG was monitored</p><p>by the researcher and physiotherapist in standard face-to-face method. Both groups</p><p>were given the same exercise protocol. The data were measured utilizing the Visual</p><p>Analog Scale (VAS), hand-held dynamometer, Y-balance test and Exercise Adherence</p><p>Scale (EXAS). An independent t-test was used to analyse perceived pain level while</p><p>one-way repeated measure was applied for muscle strength, dynamic balance and</p><p>adherence level. There was a significant difference of the online platform method in</p><p>delivering pre-operative exercises with p<0.001 for all the variables. Mixed ANOVA</p><p>also showed significant difference between OPG and FFG group (intervention effect)</p><p>on the perceived pain level (p=0.031), for all muscles except for knee flexor [knee</p><p>flexor (p=0.281), knee extensor (p=0.025), hip abductor (p=0.045), plantarflexor</p><p>(p=<0.001), dorsiflexor (p=<0.001)]. For dynamic balance, it showed significant</p><p>difference for the posterolateral direction (p=0.010) but not to anterior direction</p><p>(p=0.929) and posteromedial direction (p=0.094). The study also showed significant</p><p>difference on the adherence level (p=0.001). In conclusion, online platform method in</p><p>delivering pre-operative exercises showed significant difference on perceived pain</p><p>level, muscle strength, dynamic balance and adherence level among pre-operative ACL</p><p>tear individuals. However, more study should be conducted to support the findings.</p> |
