ANTERIOR CRUCIATE LIGAMENT INJURIES

This study looked at 439 active patients who had ACL knee surgery to find out which tendon graft—patella, hamstrings, or quadriceps—works best. The goal was to see which graft leads to fewer failures and better knee function two years after surgery. Results were analyzed to help …

This study tests if focused shockwave therapy can reduce front-of-knee pain in people who had ACL reconstruction using a tendon graft. Twenty adults who had this surgery will receive the treatment, and researchers will measure changes in knee function and pain using standard ques…

This study looks at 200 young athletes who have had an ACL injury. Researchers developed a detailed questionnaire to better understand how and why the injury happened. The goal is to find risk factors that could help prevent these injuries in the future.

This study looks at 50 people who had ACL surgery to see how a special type of rehab called neuromuscular training helps their knee work better and changes their brain activity. Researchers measure muscle strength, walking patterns, and brain signals during movement. The goal is …

This study looks at 60 female college basketball players to see if their ACL (a key knee ligament) changes during a season. Using ultrasound and jump tests, researchers measure stiffness and power before and after play. The goal is to find early warning signs of injury risk, not …

This study looks at people recovering from ACL surgery to see if adding a quick-reaction task to a standard balance test uncovers hidden differences between their operated and non-operated legs. Researchers will measure reach distance and reaction time in 40 participants aged 18-…

This study tests whether a special radar can tell if someone has had ACL knee surgery by analyzing how they move. Researchers will compare movement data from 181 adults—some with past ACL repair and some without—using radar during simple activities like jumping and walking. The g…

This study looks at whether the type of education patients receive before ACL reconstruction surgery affects their satisfaction, anxiety, and recovery. About 105 adults with a first-time ACL tear will be randomly assigned to different education methods. The goal is to see if bett…
