Despite significant advancements in surgical instruments and operation skills, short- and long-term outcomes following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) remain unsatisfactory, as many patients fail to return to their pre-injury level of sports. Inadequate ACL rehabilitation is the primary cause of poor outcomes. Nurses have become a crucial element in the rehabilitation process. Although there is no consensus regarding the optimal post-operative rehabilitation protocols, restoring muscle strength and neuromuscular control are consistently the primary goals. This literature review presents nurse-assisted rehabilitation protocols aiming at improving muscle strength and neuromuscular control. The review discusses postoperative rehabilitation, including home-based and supervised rehabilitation, open and closed kinetic chain exercises, eccentric and concentric training, blood flow restriction training, and plyometric training. Each training protocol has its benefits and drawbacks, and should be used cautiously in specific stages of rehabilitation. Neuromuscular training, such as neuromuscular electrical stimulation, neuromuscular control exercises, and vibration therapy, is considered crucial in rehabilitation.
