Pre-Surgery workouts boost knee recovery after ACL repair

NCT ID NCT07627724

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at whether doing a structured exercise program for six weeks before ACL knee surgery helps people recover faster and better. 76 adults with a torn ACL were split into two groups: one did pre-surgery exercises (prehabilitation), and the other had standard care. Researchers measured knee function, pain, and activity levels before surgery and at 3 and 6 months after. The goal was to see if prehabilitation leads to improved outcomes after ACL reconstruction.
