Neuromuscular Profiles After ACL Reconstruction

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 is a monocentric, observational cross-sectional study of adults 18+ who are 4 to 12 months post-ACL reconstruction. It combines routine strength testing with isokinetic measures, a single-leg hop test, and surface EMG of key thigh muscles to describe neuromuscular patterns under both analytical and functional conditions. Patient-reported questionnaires on knee self-efficacy, fear of movement, symptoms, and function are collected to contextualize the neuromuscular data. The goal is to map joint distributions of strength and activation and explore associations with functional performance and self-reported outcomes. Findings may help identify distinct profiles that could inform rehabilitation approaches.
