Clinical outcomes following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) remain unsatisfactory, with elevated rates of re-injury and osteoarthritis reported within 1-2 decades. Quadriceps dysfunction is thought to influence such outcomes by promoting deleterious biomechanical adaptations, yet traditional rehabilitation often fails to restore muscle function beyond return-to-activity. Advances in our understanding of underlying contributions to persistent muscle weakness have shaped the development of novel rehabilitation approaches. To address the burden of ACLR, we will (1) highlight evidence of the underlying mechanisms and clinical impact of quadriceps dysfunction, and (2) provide clinicians with novel therapeutic interventions to optimize clinical outcomes over the lifespan.
