Interventions to Enhance Quadriceps Output After ACLR

RecruitingNA

Sponsor: University of Wisconsin, Madison

Conditions: ACL

Interventions: NMES, Vibration

Countries: United States

The investigators are interested in determining what treatments are effective in reducing inhibition after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) surgery and helping people increase quadriceps strength. Two interventions that are often used clinically are neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) and vibration. This is a study of how effective these treatments are, whether they work the same for everyone, and if one is better than the other. 22 participants will be enrolled and on study for 2 to 3 weeks.
