Scientists probe hidden muscle weakness after ACL tears

NCT ID NCT06945133

First seen Nov 19, 2025 · Last updated May 21, 2026 · Updated 34 times

Summary

This study looks at how a specific type of muscle weakness, called arthrogenic motor inhibition (AMI), affects people who have torn their anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). Researchers will measure muscle activity in 90 adults with a recent ACL tear using surface EMG and Myotonometry. The goal is to see if the level of muscle inhibition matches the patient's clinical assessment, which could help guide future rehabilitation.
