Interventions

Intervention1: TECAR Therapy Combined with Conventional Physiotherapy: The intervention will be administered over 8 weeks, integrating TECAR therapy with a structured post-ACL reconstruction rehabilit
Weeks 5 6 using combined capacitive + resistive modes for 30 minutes per session (15 min each mode), four sessions per week (8 sessions)
and Weeks 7 8 using primarily resistive mode at 40% intensity (120 W) for 20 minutes, two sessions per week (4 sessions). Conventional rehabilitation includes ROM exercises, strengthening, balance tra
