This trial tests if adding electrical stimulation to standard physical therapy helps people recover strength and movement after ACL reconstruction surgery. It compares two rehab programs starting within days after surgery.
This study tests whether stimulating your sciatic nerve (a major nerve in your leg) can help you recover better after ACL reconstruction surgery. The goal is to reduce pain and help you regain strength and movement.
This trial tests two types of mild electric stimulation (one with tiny needles, one without) applied to the thigh muscle to reduce pain in people who had ACL knee surgery in the last six weeks. The goal is to see if this can help you feel better and recover quicker.
This trial tests whether a special electrical stimulation device (KneeStim) can help military academy cadets recover faster after ACL reconstruction surgery. It aims to improve muscle strength and knee function using gentle electrical pulses during rehabilitation.
This study tests whether using electrical stimulation on your healthy leg can help your injured leg's thigh muscle turn back on more quickly after ACL surgery. This might improve your recovery and reduce muscle weakness.
