Knee exercises for basketball players after ACL surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether special leg and knee exercises can improve how basketball players move when jumping and landing after ACL surgery. You will do guided training and they will measure your knee motion to see if it helps prevent another injury.
