Elastic knee sleeves may be useful adjuncts to rehabilitation. The aim of this study was to determine the immediate and 6-week effects of wearing a knee sleeve on person-reported outcomes and function in participants who had undergone an ACL reconstruction and who had residual self-reported functional limitations.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Individuals with ACL reconstruction in the previous 6 months to 5 years were recruited. Immediate effects of a commercially-available elastic knee sleeve on single-leg horizontal hop distance were explored using a cross-over design. Following this first session, participants were randomised into a Control Group and a Sleeve Group who wore the sleeve for 6 weeks, at least 1\u00a0h daily. Outcome measures for the randomised clinical trial (RCT) were the International Knee Documentation Classification Subjective Knee Form (IKDC-SKF) score, the single-leg horizontal hop distance, and isokinetic quadriceps and hamstring peak torque. Linear mixed models were used to determine random effects. Where both limbs were measured at multiple time points, a random measurement occasion effect nested within participant was used.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Thirty-four individuals (16 women) with ACL reconstruction completed the cross-over trial. Hop distance for the injured side during the sleeve condition increased by 3.6\u2009% (95\u2009% CI 0.4\u20136.8\u2009%,<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.025). There was no evidence of differential changes between groups for the IKDC-SKF (Sleeve Group<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200915; Control Group<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200916;<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.327), or relative improvement in the injured side compared to the uninjured side for the physical performance measures (Sleeve Group<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200912, Control Group<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200912; three-way interaction<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.533 [hop distance], 0.381 [quadriceps isokinetic peak torque], and 0.592 [hamstring isokinetic peak torque]).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Single-leg hop distance of the ACL reconstructed side improved when wearing a knee sleeve.
