Summary

This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS can improve muscle control and quality of life in people recovering from ACL reconstruction surgery. Fifty-four participants aged 16 to 40 will receive either real or sham tDCS combined with standard exercise rehab. The goal is to see if adding brain stimulation helps the leg muscles work better and speeds up recovery.
