Knee muscle activation after ACL tear depending on contraction type
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how well the knee muscles activate after an ACL tear, comparing different types of muscle contractions. It aims to understand recovery patterns to help improve treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 50 years old.
- You have had an ACL injury (treated with or without surgery) and your knee is calm with full range of motion and little pain.
- You can attend two sessions: one 2–6 weeks after injury and another 36–42 weeks after injury.
- You do not have a pacemaker or other implanted electronic device.
- You are not a professional athlete, not pregnant, and have no serious health or knee problems in the other leg.

This trial tests whether adding mentally challenging exercises to physical therapy helps improve balance, joint awareness, and reaction time after ACL reconstruction. It may be a good fit if you are at least 8 weeks post-surgery, have completed initial rehab, and meet specific recovery milestones.
This study looks at how the knee moves during surgery to fix a torn ACL. It may help doctors understand how to improve recovery after ACL and LAL reconstruction.
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.
