A Holistic Accelerated Approach in the Acute Phase for ACL Sprain: A Case Report

Abstract

To manage acute Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) sprains, this case report suggests a comprehensive, accelerated method that incorporates cutting-edge diagnostics, personalised rehabilitation, and new approaches like Kinesio Taping. The technique works for rapid return to activities, pain relief, and knee stability rehabilitation. Kinesio Taping offers dynamic support, improves circulation, and lowers oedema. It is recognised for its proprioceptive benefits. The recovery process is maximised by taking a holistic approach that considers lifestyle, psychological, and physical aspects. The case report advances the treatment of ACL injuries by stressing an accelerated, multifaceted approach and the combined advantages of including Kinesio Taping into the regimen. This explores the case of a 28-year-old male Kabaddi player who, after suffering a grade 1 ACL tear, facing persistent pain, swelling, and anxiety. The traditional approach offered limited relief. However, a new, multifaceted treatment plan incorporating physical therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Kinesio Taping brought remarkable results.
