Summary

This study tests whether adding single-leg 20-degree squats to standard physical therapy can improve how people walk after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery. About 48 adults aged 18 to 45 with a recent ACL tear and weak thigh muscles will be enrolled. Researchers will measure knee movement, muscle activity, and strength during walking and squatting to see if this targeted exercise helps correct abnormal gait patterns.
