Summary
This study tests whether adding single-leg 20-degree squats to standard physical therapy helps people walk better after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. The trial will enroll 48 adults aged 18-45 who have ACL surgery scheduled. Researchers will measure knee movement, muscle activity, and strength during walking and squatting to see if the extra exercise makes a difference.
