Mindfulness and graded exercise for fear after ACL surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial studies whether a combination of mindfulness practice and a step-by-step return-to-activity plan can reduce fear and improve recovery after ACL reconstruction. It may help people who feel worried about re-injury and want a structured way to get back to sports.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
