Knee muscle function after ACL injury
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
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 tear within the past 2 to 6 weeks.
- Your knee is currently calm, with good movement, little swelling, and mild pain.
- You are able to follow the study plan and understand the language used.

This study looks at how the knee muscles (front and back of the thigh) work after ACL surgery. It compares the operated leg to the healthy leg to see if there is a difference, especially in people who have a condition called arthrogenic muscle inhibition (AMI), where the muscles don't fully activate after surgery.
This study looks at how the brain and muscles in the knee react after an ACL tear, which is a common knee ligament injury. The results may help doctors design better rehab for people with this injury.
This study looks at how amateur athletes return to sports six months after reconstructive surgery for a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), which is a key knee ligament. It uses physical tests to measure knee strength and function, which may help guide your recovery.
This study looks at how well your thigh muscles work after ACL reconstruction surgery. It aims to understand muscle power recovery in active people, which could help improve rehabilitation programs.
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 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.
