Abstract
Purpose: To identify, using a social ecological model, the multi-level facilitators and barriers that shape the lived experience of rehabilitation following anterior cruciate ligament reconstructive (ACLR) surgery Method: Semi-structured interviews with 12 adults who experienced rehabilitation following ACLR surgery. Thematic analysis of qualitative data was completed following Braun and Clarke’s framework. Results: The experience of rehabilitation was influenced by intrapersonal, interpersonal, physical, institutional, community, and policy level factors. Conclusions: A patient’s ability to successfully complete a rehabilitation program, particularly home exercises, can be situated within a social and ecological context in ways that could improve patient adherence and compliance.
