Long-term knee strengthening exercise after surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a long-term knee strengthening program using a special machine that exercises your leg muscles at a steady speed. It aims to help you recover more fully after knee surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a sports rehabilitation (exercise) program for people with both an ACL tear and kneecap cartilage damage. The goal is to see if a structured exercise plan can improve knee function and reduce pain, helping you recover without surgery.
This study tests whether using a robot to help perform surgery on a specific type of knee fracture (where the ligament pulls off a piece of bone) leads to better recovery. The surgery is done soon after injury, and the robot may help the surgeon place the bone fragment more precisely.
This study tests if a special video-based balance training program helps people recover knee function better after ACL reconstruction surgery. It is designed for patients who had surgery within the past year using their own hamstring tendon.
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 looks at how your leg muscles and movement patterns recover after ACL reconstruction surgery. It aims to understand progress and help improve rehabilitation.
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.
