First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 28 times
Summary
This study looks at whether wearing a functional knee brace after ACL reconstruction helps people feel more confident and ready to return to sports. About 96 people aged 14 to 39 who have a complete ACL tear and want to get back to sports will take part. Half will wear a brace after surgery and half will not, and researchers will compare their psychological readiness and fear of re-injury.
