In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Quadriceps intensive strengthening and Standard rehabilitation for Meniscectomy. Completed, enrolled 29 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This is a single-center, randomized, single-blind (evaluator) study. Enrolled patients had a traumatic meniscal tear and underwent meniscectomy. The study included 6 weeks (12 visits) of standard or quadriceps intensive rehabilitation.

Interventions
Quadriceps intensive strengthening includes high-intensity neuromuscular electrical stimulation to the quadriceps muscle for 10 minutes and overload to the the eccentric phase of quadriceps strengthening exercises.
Standard rehabilitation will include interventions for typical knee impairments (effusion, knee motion deficits, lower extremity muscle weakness, and gait deviations) as well as advanced rehabilitation interventions as indicated (jump and agility exercises)
