Brief Summary:
This is a pilot study that evaluates the effect of PEMF in maintaining muscle mass postoperatively in individuals experiencing clinical immobilisation due ACL reconstruction surgery. Half of the participants will receive the PEMF therapy in combination with standard rehabilitation programme, while the other half will receive sham therapy in combination with standard rehabilitation programme.
Detailed Description:
This is a single-site, randomized, double-blinded, prospective pilot study of the effectiveness of once-weekly PEMF therapy in the promotion of muscle maintenance following ACL reconstruction surgery. Eligible subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive therapy with an active PEMF device or an identical inactive Sham device, in addition to the standard rehabilitation regimen.
