Micro-Doppler Radar: A Gold Standard Comparison (NCT05521126)

The Use of Micro-Doppler Radar to Identify Service Members at Risk for Musculoskeletal Injury: A Gold Standard Comparison

๐Ÿ”ต Active, Not Recruiting Interventional Protocol ๐Ÿ“Š Observational Clinical Research Sponsor: Milton S. Hershey Medical Center

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

The purpose of this study is to see if the study team can use micro-Doppler signal (MDS) technology to determine if someone has had an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. The investigators will do this by comparing the movement data from a group of people who have had the surgery with a group who has not had the surgery to see if the micro-Doppler radar technology can accurately and predictably tell the difference.
