N2 - Deficits in quadriceps femoris strength and voluntary activation have been well documented in chronic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries, but less is known about the acute or early phase after injury. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the levels of quadriceps voluntary activation (VA) and strength in both limbs of participants with unilateral ACL ruptures (complete tears) within 6 months of injury.
