Study Summary

This trial will compare the loss of strength in an immobilized lower extremity between those who received immediate postoperative strength training of the contralateral lower extremity and those who didn't.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults over 18 who are undergoing meniscal root repair or meniscus transplant, can follow the study's visit schedule, and have signed an informed consent form. It excludes those with lower limb defects, neuromuscular disorders, or incomplete pre-op assessments.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests if strength training the non-surgical leg right after surgery helps maintain muscle strength in the immobilized leg. Participants will be randomly placed into either experimental strength training or standard rehab groups.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves physical therapy rather than medication, side effects may include muscle soreness, fatigue, and potential strain on the non-operated leg due to increased use during recovery.
