- Abstract
- Objectives: To highlight components related to running programs proposed to a patient after an anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in the last decade (2010-2020). Data sources: Pubmed, EMBASE, SCOPUS and SPORTDiscus. Methods: The areas of study were selected based on a series of inclusion and exclusion criteria: Only studies dealing with adults (18 - 50 years old) who had undergone a first ACLR with or without associated meniscal lesion were included into the scoping review. Results: Based on the 64 studies selected for this review and the application of a personalized 10 items checklist (Running Program Checklist – RPC), results concluded that more than 76,19% of running programs offered either one or two or three RPC items after an ACLR. Moreover, a total of 15,62% of the included studies provided information on 5 or more of the RPC items of cases and no evidence was found of all items being present in one scenario. Correlatively, the most frequently mentioned item was "When (2)" occurring in 92,19% of studies. Conclusions: The "When (2)" item appeared with the highest rate because return to run was an inclusion criterion in this review. Furthermore, additional information proposed in some studies was limited to 12.70% for 2 RPC items, 9.51% for studies including 3 to 5 items and finally 6.36% of the articles detailed 6 items or more in their running program.
