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
