This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a program called SOAR (Stop OsteoARthritis) designed to help young people aged 16–35 who have had ACL reconstruction surgery protect their knee from developing early arthritis. The program combines online education, guided home exercises, activity tracking, and regular check-ins with a physical therapist. Researchers want to see if this structured approach works better than basic educational materials alone at reducing knee pain and improving how well people can function.
After ACL reconstruction surgery, many young people are at high risk of developing knee arthritis earlier than usual—sometimes by their 30s or 40s. This trial exists to test whether an organized program of exercise and counseling can slow down or prevent that damage, helping people stay active and pain-free for longer.

If you're randomly assigned to the SOAR program, you'll attend a one-time in-person Knee Camp workshop, then complete 6 months of weekly one-on-one sessions with a physical therapist (online or in person), do prescribed home exercises, track your activity with a device, and optionally join group exercise classes. The comparison group receives an educational video and workbook, plus just one counseling session. Both groups wear activity trackers and are followed for 2 years, with check-ins at 6, 12, and 24 months to measure knee pain, function, and quality of life.
