본문내용

A
Was the method of randomization adequate?
To assess the effectiveness of mobilization through compression, the researchers organized a preliminary observational study of patients undergoing knee surgery for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction according to the standardized Kenneth Jones-Rosenberg technique (O'Brien et al. 1991). To create a homogeneous sample, they chose to include only patients who had been operated by the same surgeon at the St.-Jan General Hospital in Bruges. In this way, the target groups were completely homogeneous in terms of medical diagnosis and surgical procedures. However, unknown factors occurring during the two consecutive study periods may have influenced the outcome, so we are not sure if patient inclusions occurred strictly randomly.

Unsure

B
Was the treatment allocation concealed?
no

The standard rehabilitation program used was administered by a hospital-based therapist. For practical reasons, the first 15 patients decided to only receive a standardized program and act as a control group.
