There was a significant decrease in mean scores of complications post arthroscopic ACLR among study group patients after 2 and 4 weeks post program implementation than those in control group, with highly statistically significant differences between both groups with (P<0.01). There was a significant improvement in mean scores concerning knee symptoms and functional limitations with activities of daily living among study group patients after 2 and 4 weeks post program implementation than those in control group with highly statistically significant differences between both groups with (P<0.01).
