2 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The overall objective of this study is to conduct a two-group randomized trial to examine the efficacy of cognitive-behavioral based physical therapy (CBPT) for improving knee function, return to sport, and quality of life outcomes in patients following ACL reconstruction (ACLR). The study consists of two treatment groups: telephone-based cognitive-behavioral based physical therapy for ACLR (CBPT-ACLR) and telephone-based Education. The central hypothesis is that the CBPT-ACLR participants relative to the Education group will demonstrate significantly greater improvement in postoperative outcomes at 12 months following surgery.
The overall goal of this project is to reduce the risk for anterior cruciate ligament injuries by designing a targeted intervention that will alter the known kinematic and kinetic risk factors associated with ACL injuries.
