ACC Student-Athlete Transition

There exists limited empirical evidence to inform the structure and content of the current NCAA exit interviews which restricts their impact on post-career health and well-being. This study hopes to bridge that gap and to understand the student-athlete transition experience including outcomes of mental, physical, social, and occupational functioning. In this aim, we are inviting you to participate in an evidence-based, survey addendum to the standard of care exit interview. A total of 120 individuals will be invited to participate in this portion of the study. A subgroup of 30 participants will be invited to participate in a follow-up interview. If you are selected for follow-up, we will reach out to you in no more than 60 days after the completion of this survey.

ACL Surgery Rehabilitation Study

Individuals who suffer anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are at an increased risk of developing knee osteoarthritis, a condition that results in chronic pain and disability. The purpose of this research study is to determine if adding vibration to standard rehabilitation following ACL reconstruction surgery improves gait biomechanics (how your joints move while walking); muscle function; symptoms, disability, and quality of life; and indicators of knee joint health more effectively than rehabilitation alone.
