A Prehab Strengthening Program Prior to ACL Surgery on Lower Limb Structure and Function

NCT05374382 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 75

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Atrophy and weakness are ubiquitous after a ACL rupture and associated with a worsened long-term recovery of individual capacities, despite surgery and rehabilitation. Preoperative rehabilitation (prehab) is believed to prepare patients for surgery and post-operative rehabilitation. However, prehab programs are highly variable, and do not always aim to develop/maintain neuromuscular parameters.

The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of a lower limb strengthening training program during prehab prior to ACL Surgery on lower limb structure and function.

Conditions

  • ACL Injury

Interventions

Strengthening

3x/w, 9 wks supervised strengthening program, during prehabilitation to ACL surgery

BEHAVIORAL

Conventional
