Interventions
NMES is applied when patients perform quadriceps strengthening exercises. BFR is applied during compound exercises.
Standard physical therapy (week 1-16) includes interventions for typical impairments following ACLR. The initial phase will focus on pain and effusion control, restoration of knee range of motion, followed by gait normalization, lower extremity strength training, then running and plyometrics.
