Abstract Background and objectives: The purpose of this study was to find the effect of faradic foot bath and concentric exercise in prevention of non-contact ACL injury among soccer players with hyperpronated foot.

Method: This study was conducted on 40 soccer players with hyperpronated foot.Subjects were randomly alloted into 2 groups [group-1 Concentric exercsie, group-2 Faradic Footbath]. NDT and DVJ were 2 outcome measures used to assessed at baseline and after 6 Weeks.

Result: Both groups showed significant difference in management of hyperpronated foot and there by reducing the risk of non-contact ACL injury[p<0.05]. And by comparing the mean difference from group discriptive it showed concentric exercise (NDT= 6.45+4.775, DVJ= - 0.287+0.061) is more effective then Faradic Footbath (NDT= 1.25,DVJ= -0.086).

Conclusion: In conclusion, this study suggest that Concentric exrecise is more effective then Faradic Footbath, so Concentric exercise can be used as a effective measure for prevention of non-contact ACL injury among soccer players with hyperpronated foot.
