ACL Bone Health and Loading Study
Sponsor: Candice Dunkin, MS, LAT, ATC
Summary
The purpose of this study is to look at the effects of bone density on lower extremity loading mechanics using Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) to provide the control group for bone health. Hypothesis: The BFR group will have decreased bone mineral loss and improved functional performance compared to control group.
Official title: The Effects of Bone Health on Landing Mechanics on Patients Post ACL Reconstruction.
