Study on muscle recovery after ACL injury in athletes
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are a man between 18 and 65 years old.
- You have less than 2 cm of fat where the device is placed (checked with a skin fold tool).
- You understand Spanish, English, or Catalan.
- You are an athlete who trains or competes at least 3 days a week.
