Summary
This study looked at whether telling patients to focus on the movement itself (external focus) or on their own muscles (internal focus) during exercises helps thigh muscles work better after ACL reconstruction. 24 people who had ACL surgery took part. The goal was to see if one focus method improves muscle activation and reduces swelling or stiffness.
