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 the muscles that straighten your knee work after an ACL tear, comparing different types of contractions. It aims to understand muscle weakness during recovery to improve rehabilitation.
This study looks at how the knee muscles (front and back of the thigh) work after ACL surgery. It compares the operated leg to the healthy leg to see if there is a difference, especially in people who have a condition called arthrogenic muscle inhibition (AMI), where the muscles don't fully activate after surgery.
This study looks at how the brain and muscles in the knee react after an ACL tear, which is a common knee ligament injury. The results may help doctors design better rehab for people with this injury.
This study looks at how amateur athletes return to sports six months after reconstructive surgery for a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), which is a key knee ligament. It uses physical tests to measure knee strength and function, which may help guide your recovery.
This study uses brain scans (fMRI) to see how a special type of movement training affects the brain after ACL surgery. If you've had an ACL repair and are active in sports, you may be eligible.
This study looks at how your knee moves during daily-style tasks and how strong your muscles are after ACL surgery. It may help researchers understand recovery and improvement after reconstruction.
