The purpose of this study is to develop and apply a rehabilitation program for patients who are discharged after ACL reconstruction using a wearable joint rehabilitation exercise device (exoRehab).
This randomized, single-blind, controlled trial included 40 patients who are discharged after ACL reconstruction. The intervention group(n=20) was instructed and educated about 6 week home rehabilitation program using a wearable device(exoRehab) The controls(n=20) was instructed and educated about 6 week conventional home rehabilitation program Two weeks after surgery and six weeks after discharge, evaluation is performed. The purpose of this study is to develop and apply a rehabilitation program for patients who are discharged after ACL reconstruction using a wearable joint rehabilitation exercise device (exoRehab).

EQ-5D-3L Scores
Change from baseline in EQ-5D-3L Scores at 2 weeks and 6 weeks. EQ-5D-3L is made up for two components. First, the health status is measured in terms of five dimensions (5D); mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression; each dimension ranging from 1-3. From these five dimensions, EQ-5D index is calculated, having a value between 0-1. Second, the evaluation part involves an analogue scale, asking to mark health status on the day of the interview on a 20 cm vertical scale with end points of 0 and 100. Zero corresponds to " the worst health you can imagine", and hundred corresponds to "the best health you can imagine".
Time frame: Baseline, 2 weeks and 6 weeks
Visual Analogue Scale for pain
Change from baseline in Visual Analogue Scale at 2 weeks and 6 weeks. The Visual Analogue Scale(VAS), a 101-point scale for evaluating pain which consists of a 100-millimetre scale ranging from 0 (no pain at all) to 100 (worst imaginable pain).
Time frame: Baseline, 2 weeks and 6 weeks
