Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury
Electrical Stimulation and Eccentric Exercise for Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Injury
Quadriceps muscle weakness is a common consequence of ACL injury. This muscle weakness is considered to result from neural inhibition preventing full muscle contraction and is referred to as arthrogenic muscle inhibition (AMI).

- NCT01555567
- Testing
- Electrical Stimulation, Eccentric Exercise
- Where
- United States
- Volunteers
- 43 people
