A Study About Recovery After ACL Reconstruction (RARE)
Official Title
Disability after ACL Reconstruction: Development of an Alternative Model of Care
Purpose
The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in your knee can be injured and treated with an ACL reconstruction surgery. An ACL reconstruction may impact function, muscle strength, the way you move, and knee joint health. However, outcomes at 2 years after ACL reconstructions in young persons are not well-understood. Findings from this study will provide information regarding the clinical, function, muscle strength, and movement patterns after ACL injury and reconstruction to help inform physicians and physical therapists who work with these patients.
Could this study be right for you?
You may be eligible if:
- You are between the ages of 16-35 years old
- 2 years (+/- 8 months) status post ACL Reconstruction
- Regularly participated in physical activity prior to their ACL injury
