Measuring muscle oxygen levels during recovery from knee and hip surgery

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study uses the Moxy wearable sensor to monitor muscle oxygen saturation and hemoglobin levels in athletes recovering from ACL or hip arthroscopy. Patients will undergo surgery and then participate in physical therapy, with assessments at specific intervals post-surgery. The data collected will be compared to healthy controls to evaluate recovery and support safe return-to-play decisions. This approach aims to provide quantifiable evidence to enhance current rehabilitation protocols.
