Brief Summary:
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears have a recovery time of nearly 6-12 months with operative treatment. While most service members return to full duty after ACL reconstruction, it is delayed by quadriceps activation, muscle weakness, and abnormal gait patterns. Neuromuscular electric stimulation devices are already being used in physical therapy to complement gains in muscle strength and size. The innovation of KneeStim, is that it can be used to stimulate knee muscles while the individual is engaging in their daily activities. This study looks at the effects of 12 weeks of post-operative use of the KneeStim on biomechanical function (gait) in United States Military Academy Cadets aged 17-27 years of age. The investigators hypothesize that using the KneeStim will accelerate normalization of the biomechanical function parameters of gait and thus return to full duty.
