Brain study probes why ACL patients 'Forget' to use their leg
NCT ID NCT04837417
Summary
This study aimed to understand why people often struggle to fully regain strength in their thigh muscle (quadriceps) after ACL knee surgery, even with rehabilitation. Researchers tested the idea that the brain unconsciously 'learns' not to use the injured leg as a protective habit. They measured muscle activity, balance, walking patterns, and brain signals in 10 people who had ACL surgery 6-18 months prior.
