Knee muscle response after ACL tear
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 45 years old.
- You have a torn ACL, confirmed by an MRI.
- Your injury happened 30 days ago or less.
- You speak and understand French.
- You have not had any knee injury or surgery before (on either leg).
- You do not have any other knee ligament damage.

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 knee moves during surgery to rebuild the ACL (a ligament in the knee) and another ligament called the LAL. It aims to help doctors understand knee motion better, which could improve surgical techniques.
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.
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 tests whether doing mental practice (imagining leg movements) along with usual physical therapy can improve recovery after ACL reconstruction surgery. If you qualify, you'll help see if this mind-body approach boosts knee strength and movement.
This study tests an “optimized” rehabilitation plan after ACL reconstruction to help people safely return to competitive sports. It’s for people who had an ACL surgery and still want to play sports that involve cutting, pivoting, or contact.
