Boosting quad strength after ACL reconstruction
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study tests ways to improve quadriceps muscle strength in people who had ACL reconstruction surgery within the past 4 months. It examines extra interventions during rehab to help you regain leg strength faster.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Had knee ACL reconstruction surgery in the last 4 months
- At least 2 months since your ACL surgery
- No previous ACL surgery on both knees
- No other leg surgery or fracture since your recent ACL surgery
- Can walk without a cane or walker
- Have mild or no pain (score 5/10 or less) when doing quad-strengthening exercises on the surgical leg

This trial is for people who have had ACL surgery on one knee only (not both knees) and want to strengthen their quadriceps. It tests if adding special muscle stimulation or blood flow restriction training helps recovery.
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.
This study tests whether a special muscle-stimulating device worn after ACL reconstruction surgery can help your knee recover strength faster. If you qualify, you will use the device at home for a few weeks and your recovery will be checked regularly.
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 if adding a gentle electrical stimulation (called NMES) to standard physical therapy helps people recover strength faster after knee replacement surgery. It is for patients who go to specific UCHealth or Intermountain Health therapy clinics after their first total knee replacement.
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.
