Kneehab post-ACL study published in the American Journal of Sports Medicine Wednesday 20th July 2011

Neurotech are proud to announce that a study on the effects of using Kneehab, our muscle rehabilitation device for quadriceps atrophy, in a post ACL setting, has been published in the June 2011 edition of the American Journal of Sports Medicine.

The study, which may have significant impact on patient outcomes, found that patients who utilize our Kneehab^® XP device to aid post operative rehabilitation:

• Achieve significantly better strength and functional results at each time point (6 weeks, 12 weeks and 6 months) in recovery
• Return to pre-operative knee extensor strength, and to strength of the uninvolved leg, within 12 weeks, attaining pre-operative shuttle run speed by week 6 – twice as fast as other groups in the study
• Return to work up to 7 days quicker than patients who complete exercise rehabilitation alone
