Feasibility and Acceptability of Implementing a Progressive Walking Program After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: A Mixed-Methods Study
This study demonstrated mixed feasibility and acceptability of a progressive walking program early after ACLR. Participants demonstrated high adherence to wearing an activity monitor and completing weekly virtual physical activity program sessions. However, daily physical activity goals were only met approximately half of the time. Clinicians and researchers can use the themes identified from the qualitative analysis in future program designs to promote physical activity after ACLR.
