Integrating multi-session transcranial direct current stimulation with routine physical therapy to improve quadriceps strength and activation in athletes during subacute recovery following ACL reconstruction: A double-blind RCT.

This dataset contains anonymized data from a double-blind randomized controlled trial investigating the effects of integrating multi-session anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (a-tDCS) with routine physical therapy (RPT) on quadriceps strength and voluntary activation in nonprofessional male athletes during subacute recovery following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR).

The dataset includes demographic variables, baseline clinical assessments, quadriceps strength measurements obtained using an isokinetic dynamometer, voluntary activation data assessed via the superimposed burst technique (Central Activation Ratio method), intervention details for both active and sham a-tDCS groups, and post-intervention outcome measures including IKDC scores.

All data have been fully anonymized to ensure participant confidentiality. The dataset is shared to support transparency, reproducibility, and secondary analyses related to neuromodulation, ACL rehabilitation, quadriceps activation, and motor recovery research.
