Muscle function after ACL reconstruction in active people
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) reconstruction surgery, either alone or with a meniscus repair.
- You are physically active and plan to return to sports or heavy physical activity after surgery.
- You have not had any previous surgery on the same knee.
- You do not have injuries to other knee ligaments (like MCL, LCL, or PCL).
- You do not have difficulty understanding the study instructions.

This study compares two different exercise programs to help people recover knee strength and function after ACL reconstruction surgery. One program uses steady machine-based exercises, while the other uses jumping and quick movements. The goal is to find which approach works better for getting you back to normal activities.
This study compares two simple exercises (KEA and towel-based) to help your thigh muscle wake up early after ACL knee surgery. The goal is to find which method gets your muscle working again sooner, which may improve your recovery.
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.
This study tests an “optimized” rehabilitation plan after ACL reconstruction to help people safely return to competitive sports. It’s for people who had an ACL surgery and still want to play sports that involve cutting, pivoting, or contact.
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 your leg muscles and movement patterns recover after ACL reconstruction surgery. It aims to understand progress and help improve rehabilitation.
