History

Protocol first published: Issue 2, 2005
 Review first published: Issue 4, 2005

Date Event Description
8 September 2008 Amended Converted to new review format.
18 May 2006 Amended In this minor update (published in Issue 3, 2006), format changes were undertaken to comply with the Cochrane Style Guide (May 2006).
24 August 2005 Amended In a previous comprehensive systematic review (Thomson 2002) the effect of rehabilitation on ACL patients was inconclusive with respect to efficacy of exercise, effectiveness of dosage, setting in which the physiotherapy‐led programmes took place and level and type of supervision. That review also limited the trials to physiotherapy‐led programmes and did not consider trials when the exercise programmes were prescribed or led by persons other than physiotherapists. That review has now been split and is being updated as a series of separate reviews that includes this current review, and "Exercise for treating isolated meniscal injuries of the knee in adults" (Dixon 2005).
