Abstract

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a crucial stabilizer of the knee. Approximately 150,000 ACL tears occur each year in the US, creating a $17.7 billion rehabilitation industry. Injuries to the ACL leave significant strain on muscles located in the hamstrings and quadriceps. Compression aids in reducing the fatigue of these muscles while expediting the healing process.
