Vibration Therapy for Osteoarthritis after ACL Injury
Study Summary
This trial is evaluating the effect of vibration on quadriceps function, gait biomechanics, patient self-report outcomes, cartilage composition, and PTOA incidence in patients who have had ACL surgery.

- You had surgery to fix a torn knee ligament using a specific type of tissue from your own body.You are between 16 and 35 years old.You have previously injured your ACL or had surgery to repair it.You have had surgery on your knee in the past.You need to have surgery on more than one ligament at the same time as your ACL surgery.You have had a significant leg injury in the 3 months before the study, except for an ACL injury.You have been diagnosed with osteoarthritis in any joint of your leg.You have a history of a neurological disorder like stroke or multiple sclerosis.You are between 16 and 35 years old.You had surgery to fix your ACL using a specific type of tendon from your own body.You have other injuries or surgeries that would slow down your recovery after ACL surgery, like a fracture in your leg or a special kind of treatment in your knee.If you had more than one-third of your inner or outer knee cartilage removed during surgery, you cannot participate.You have severe damage to the cartilage in your joints.
- Group 1: Standard ACL Rehabilitation
- Group 2: Whole Body Vibration
- Group 3: Local Muscle Vibration
- No Placebo-Only Group - All patients enrolled in this study will receive some form of active treatment.
- Screening: It may take up to 3 Weeks to process to see if you qualify in this trial.
- Treatment: The duration you will receive the treatment varies.
- Follow Ups: You may be asked to continue sharing information regarding the trial for 6 Months after you stop receiving the treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are minors eligible for this clinical trial?
"The age bracket for this trial is 16-35."
How do I qualify to be a subject in this research?
"This study is looking for 114 participants that have torn their anterior cruciate ligament and meet the following qualifications: Unilateral, primary ACLR with bone-patellar tendon-bone autograft, Age 16 to 35 years."
Are there any patients who are not yet enrolled in this trial?
"That is correct. The website clinicaltrials.gov has the latest information on this trial. According to the site, the trial was first posted on 1/11/2021 and was last edited on 10/11/2022. The trial is currently enrolling 114 participants at 2 sites."
By what means does this research hope to achieve its objective?
"The aim of this study is to observe changes in peak internal knee extension moment during walking in patients within 12 months of ACL reconstruction surgery. This will be done by measuring three-dimensional kinematics and kinetics during double-leg landings, via a 10-camera motion capture system interfaced with embedded force plates. Peak knee flexion angle will be identified during the loading phase of landing (initial ground contact to peak knee flexion), and change scores will be calculated from Baseline (1 month) to 6 months and Baseline to 12 months to be used as dependent variables."
