Summary

After anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, the involved quadriceps may demonstrate weakness due to decrease in quadriceps activation. However, elapsed time from the injury may affect muscle strength by restoration of the quadriceps activation. The injury is characterized by joint instability that leads to decreased activity, unsatisfactory knee function, and poor knee-related quality of life in the short term, and it is associated with an increased risk of osteoarthritis on the knee. This study was designed to compare muscle strength, questionnaire and knee function in patients with different exercise training.
