First seen Mar 30, 2026 · Last updated Jun 17, 2026 · Updated 9 times

Summary

This study looked at whether doing strength exercises with the non-surgical leg right after meniscus surgery can prevent strength loss in the leg that is immobilized. 50 adults who had meniscus repair or transplant were split into two groups: one did strength training on the healthy leg, the other did standard rehab. The goal was to see if this approach helps maintain leg strength and knee function during recovery.
