Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Group 1 (Experimental Group - OKC + NMES)
Group 1 (Experimental Group - OKC + NMES)
OKC Knee Extension Exercises:
Seated Knee Extensions:
Resistance bands or machine, 10-15 reps, 2-3 sets.
Straight Leg Raises:
With or without ankle weights, 12-15 reps, 2-3 sets.
Quadriceps Isometric Holds:
Held for 5-10 seconds, 10 reps, 2-3 sets.
Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES):
Electrode Placement:
Over the motor points of the quadriceps.
Frequency:
35-50 Hz.
Pulse Duration:
200 microseconds.
Intensity:
Adjusted for strong yet tolerable contractions.
On-Off Cycle:
10 seconds on, 20 seconds off.
Group 2 (Control Group - OKC Only
Group 2 (Control Group - OKC Only
Open Kinetic Chain Knee Extension Exercises without NMES. Method \& Details: The same OKC exercises as the experimental group but without NMES. All exercises are supervised by trained physiotherapists.

Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
* Subjects who have undergone unilateral primary ACL reconstruction surgery
* Subjects who are exactly 4 weeks post-surgery at the start of the study
* Subjects who received a hamstring tendon autograft or patellar tendon graft for ACL reconstruction
* Subjects cleared by a physician to begin open kinetic chain exercises in their rehabilitation program
* Subjects who are generally healthy with no significant comorbidities that could interfere with rehabilitation
* Willingness to provide informed consent and commit to the entire duration of the study
Exclusion Criteria
* History of prior ACL injury or reconstruction on the same knee
* Patients who underwent reconstruction of other ligaments along with the ACL
* Presence of conditions (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, uncontrolled diabetes) that could influence recovery
* Any significant injury or surgery to the opposite knee within the last six months
* Factors that indicate a high risk of non-compliance with the rehabilitation protocol, such as poor availability, or lack of commitment to follow the exercise regimen
* Conditions affecting neuromuscular control that could interfere with exercise performance or rehabilitation response
