Hello
I am just asking for your advice surrounding a research study design. I am performing a systematic review on a number of articles which investigate the effect of a neuromuscular training versus a traditional strength training protocol in ACL injured individuals.
The studies state to be randomised control trials however as no control is present is this correct or should they be termed randomised comparative trials? Also what appraisal tool can be used with these studies?
Thank you in advance
Rachel
