Characterizing Clinical and Biomechanical Contributions to Function Following ACL Reconstruction

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: ACL Tears

In brief

Quantify differences in quadriceps function and gait biomechanics in individuals within 2 years of ACL reconstruction compared to a healthy comparison group and establish the feasibility of conducting a progressive strengthening program to improve clinical and patient-oriented outcomes in individuals who are within 2 years of ACL reconstruction
