Biofeedback for knee muscle recovery after surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using a device that shows your muscle activity on a screen (biofeedback) can help your knee muscle turn back on more quickly after knee surgery. It aims to improve rehabilitation and reduce muscle weakness.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had knee surgery and now have weakness or trouble activating your thigh muscle (quadriceps).
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are covered by a social security program (like health insurance).
- You can follow instructions and take part in standard rehab sessions.
- You do not have severe pain, a nerve condition, a skin problem where the electrodes go, or an allergy to the electrodes.
- You are not under legal guardianship or court-ordered protection.

This trial studies whether adding blood flow restriction or muscle activity biofeedback to standard rehab after ACL surgery can help you regain knee strength faster. It may be an option for people who had their first ACL repair and are normally active.
This study tests whether adding electrical muscle stimulation (NMES, which uses small pulses to help muscles contract) to standard therapy after knee replacement can improve how your spine and pelvis align and better your walking and balance.
This trial tests whether brain-computer interface training can help you regain muscle control more effectively after knee or hip surgery. It focuses on four common procedures and uses neurofeedback to optimize muscle activation during 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 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 the thigh muscles work in people recovering from ACL surgery. It compares the muscle signals in your operated leg to your healthy leg. The goal is to learn more about muscle control after surgery.
