Study Summary

This trial will test whether a visual feedback program can help prevent knee osteoarthritis after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals who have recently had or are planning to have ACL reconstruction due to an injury within the last 6 months. It's not suitable for those with a BMI over 35, pregnant or planning pregnancy during the study, or anyone with previous knee injuries/surgeries.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing whether using visual biofeedback when doing squats can improve knee function after ACL surgery compared to standard care. The success will be measured by changes in how participants move and early signs of knee arthritis on MRI scans.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves physical therapy techniques rather than medication, side effects may include muscle soreness or discomfort from exercise. There's also a small risk of injury from performing squats incorrectly.
