Use of rating of perceived exertion during anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction and knee osteoarthritis rehabilitation: a scoping review protocol

Introduction Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear and knee osteoarthritis (KOA) are the most prevalent musculoskeletal disorders of the knee. Rehabilitation with progressive resistance training is recommended for both disorders. Rating of perceived exertion (RPE) is widely used to prescribe, monito...

description Introduction Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear and knee osteoarthritis (KOA) are the most prevalent musculoskeletal disorders of the knee. Rehabilitation with progressive resistance training is recommended for both disorders. Rating of perceived exertion (RPE) is widely used to prescribe, monitor, and control exercise load. However, the lack of detailed methodological description and variability in the use of RPE may hinder its validity. This scoping review summarises methodological aspects of the use of RPE in resistance exercises during ACL reconstruction and KOA rehabilitation. We also aim to identify possible methodological issues related to the use of RPE and provide recommendations for future studies.Methods and analysis This scoping review protocol was developed following the Joanna Briggs Institute and Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Statement extension for Scoping Reviews. The search will be conducted in Medline/PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, PEDro, Central and SPORTDiscus databases. The terms “anterior cruciate ligament rehabilitation”, “knee osteoarthritis” and “resistance exercise” and their synonymous will be used isolated and combined (boolean operators AND/OR/NOT). Two reviewers will independently conduct title and abstract screening and evaluate full texts of potentially eligible articles. Data related to study design, sample, intervention characteristics and RPE outcomes will be extracted, summarised and qualitatively analysed.Ethics and dissemination The proposed scoping review does not require ethical approval since it will synthesise information from publicly available studies. Regarding dissemination activities, results will be submitted for publication in a scientific journal and presented at conferences in the field.
