PEMF Therapy for Hamstring Strength After ACL Surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether wearing a special device (PEMF) for a few minutes each day can help you regain hamstring strength more quickly after ACL surgery. If your hamstring is still weaker than your other leg at 4 months, this may help you recover better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- This is your first ACL surgery, using your own hamstring tendon
- Both of your knees were healthy before this surgery (no past injuries or surgeries)
- At your 4-month checkup, your hamstring strength in the operated leg is less than 85% of your healthy leg
- No major knee injuries at the same time (like a broken bone, big meniscus tear, or cartilage damage)
- You do not have any metal implants or electronic medical devices like pacemakers, insulin pumps, or nerve stimulators

This trial tests whether adding vibration treatments to standard physical therapy helps people regain muscle strength and function faster after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery. The ACL is a key ligament in the knee that helps stabilize it.
This study tests whether pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (a non-invasive treatment using magnetic pulses) can improve muscle strength and function in people with severe knee osteoarthritis who are waiting for knee replacement surgery. It may help you feel stronger and move better before your operation.

This study tests whether using electrical stimulation on your healthy leg can help your injured leg's thigh muscle turn back on more quickly after ACL surgery. This might improve your recovery and reduce muscle weakness.
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 tests ways to improve quadriceps muscle strength in people who had ACL reconstruction surgery within the past 4 months. It examines extra interventions during rehab to help you regain leg strength faster.
