Summary

This trial will investigate the effect of a physical activity prescription delivered through a mobile app on patient-reported outcomes and cartilage health in individuals 5-10 years post-ACL reconstruction.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals who are 7 years post-ACL reconstruction surgery and part of the STAbiLiTY study. They must have internet and smartphone access, be stable enough to engage in physical activity, willing to follow up during the study period, and communicate in English.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing a Physical Activity Prescription (PARx) intervention aimed at improving knee health after ACL reconstruction. It investigates whether regular prescribed exercise can prevent or delay osteoarthritis by promoting better cartilage health.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects aren't listed for PARx, increased physical activity could potentially lead to muscle soreness, joint pain, or exacerbation of existing knee issues if not done carefully.
