Do ACL tears cause weakness in the soleus muscle?
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at whether people with ACL tears have weakness in a specific calf muscle called the soleus. If you have an ACL tear, you will do strength tests to compare with healthy individuals.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have an MRI-confirmed ACL tear.
- You are between 18 and 55 years old.
- You do not have any conditions listed as unsafe for strength testing, such as recent surgery or certain medical conditions.
- You are willing to give written consent to participate.

This study looks at how a specific type of muscle weakness (called arthrogenic motor inhibition) relates to your knee function after an ACL tear. If you have a recent ACL rupture and want to help doctors better understand recovery, you may be eligible.
This study looks at how well the knee muscles activate after an ACL tear, comparing different types of muscle contractions. It aims to understand recovery patterns to help improve treatment.
This study looks at how the thigh muscles work in people recovering from ACL surgery. It compares the muscle signals in your operated leg to your healthy leg. The goal is to learn more about muscle control after surgery.
This study looks at how muscle strength, power, and control relate to daily function after ACL reconstruction. It may help you understand your recovery progress and guide your rehabilitation.
This trial uses a special light-based device (NIRS) to check muscle health in athletes who had ACL surgery. It aims to improve rehabilitation for cycling or running sports.
This study looks at how well amateur athletes recover and return to sport after ACL reconstruction. If you had ACL surgery on one knee at least 6 months ago, you may be able to participate in simple functional tests to track your progress.
