This study compares two different exercise programs to help people recover knee strength and function after ACL reconstruction surgery. One program uses steady machine-based exercises, while the other uses jumping and quick movements. The goal is to find which approach works better for getting you back to normal activities.
This study tests whether adding gentle vibration to your rehab exercises helps your knee get stronger and work better after ACL surgery. If you join, you'll do your usual physical therapy, but some of the exercises will be done on a special vibrating platform.
