Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

•(1\) underwent arthroscopy surgery as follows: initially, an anteromedial incision was made on the proximal tibia and the gracilis and semitendinosus tendons were detached from their insertions on tibia. Subsequently, the tendons were removed to fashion the graft for ACL reconstruction. A tibial canal was established; through this canal, the femoral canal was created under arthroscopy guide. Finally, the graft was passed through the canals as a single bundle,
•(2\) 6 months after operation,
•(3\) received the same rehabilitation program before NMES procedures: Week 1 (CPM Machine \- start at 0\-30 degrees, increase no less than 10 degrees per day PROM Wall Slides Seated Active Assistive Knee Flexion Prone Dangle Passive resting extension with heel prop Patellar Mobilizations, SLR x3 Flexion, Adduction, Abduction, Hamstring/Calf Stretches, Ankle Pumps, Gait Training, Home Exercise Program\-2 or 3 times per day). Week 2\-4 (Scar Mobilization/Massage, Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation, Progressive Resistive Exercises, Manual/Machine resisted leg press, Balance/Proprioception, Isometric Knee extension 90\-60 degrees, Stationary Bike, Mini\-Squats progress up to 90 degrees, Step ups, Retro Treadmill/Stairmaster, Hip abduction/external rotation). Week 4\-16 (Functional Strengthening, Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation, Progressive Resistive Exercises, Manual/Machine resisted leg press, Balance/Proprioception, Squats to 90 degrees, Single leg squats, Step ups, Retro Treadmill/Stairmaster, Review Home Exercise Program\-2 times per day). Week 16\-24 (Continue strength, endurance, proprioception progression, Begin double\-leg hopping, jogging, agility drills).
•(4\) provided written informed consent to participate in the study
