Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Gluteal muscle strength (hip extension, abduction, and external rotation) Baseline, post-intervention (6 weeks), and 6 months after ACLR Isometric gluteal muscle strength will be measured using a hand-held dynamometer,Walking gait biomechanics Baseline, post-intervention (6 weeks), and 6 months after ACLR Lower limb biomechanics will be measured using a motion capture system during walking at preferred and fast speeds (three trials per speed) | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Thigh circumference Baseline, post-intervention (6 weeks), and 6 months after ACLR Thigh circumference will be measured with a tape measure,Drop vertical jump 6 months after ACLR Lower limb biomechanics will be measured using a motion capture system (three trials),Single leg hop for distance 6 months after ACLR Lower limb biomechanics will be measured using a motion capture system (three trials) | — |
