RECRUITING
Effects of Contralateral Strength Training on Postoperative Strength Deficits in the Immobilized Lower Extremity
Description

This is a prospective, randomized controlled trial that will enroll patients undergoing unilateral meniscal root repair or meniscus transplant. The objective of this study is to determine if immediate postoperative strength training of the contralateral (non-surgical) lower extremity reduces postoperative loss of strength in an immobilized lower extremity. After the completion of surgery, patients will be randomized to either the experimental treatment (Group 1) or control group (Group II)for postoperative rehabilitation.
