Knee muscle check after ACL surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had ACL surgery at least 3 weeks ago
- Your knee is not very swollen (a specific test shows 1+ or less) and you have mild pain (3 or less out of 10) at rest
- You are fairly active, with a Tegner score of 5 or more (a measure of activity level)
- You have a Marx score of 8 or more (a measure of how often you do activities like running, cutting, pivoting)
- You may or may not have a diagnosis of arthrogenic muscle inhibition (AMI), which is a condition where the knee muscles don't fully turn on after surgery
- You speak French and agree to let your data be used

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 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 a new way to assess how well your knee recovers after ACL reconstruction. It uses a test called NEURO-K-STARTS to check your knee function during jumps, which may help guide your rehab.
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 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.
