This report has been verified
by one or more authors of the
original publication.
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
The Long-term Effect of 2 Postoperative Rehabilitation Programs After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial With 2 Years of Follow-Up
Am J Sports Med. 2009 Oct;37(10):1958-66. Epub 2009 Jun 25.74 patients who underwent arthroscopic ACL reconstruction were randomized to receive either a neuromuscular exercise (NE) program or a standard strength exercise (SE) program. This study compared subjective and objective outcomes at 6 month, 1 and 2 year follow-ups. Significantly improved knee function was found in the NE group at 6 month follow-up, but this difference diminished with further long term follow-ups. The SE group demonstrated significantly improved hamstring muscle strength 1 year post-operatively.
