A Phase 4 interventional study of Ultrasound Guided Adductor Canal Block and Ultrasound Guided Femoral Nerve Block in Quadriceps Muscle Weakness, Adductor Muscle Weakness and Fall Risk, sponsored by St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital Center. Completed at 1 site in United States. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 65 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2012-08-01.

Our objective was to determine if an ultrasound guided ACB can preserve quadriceps strength, thus minimizing weakness of knee extension compared with ultrasound guided femoral nerve block. Our primary outcome was the percent of maximum voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) of knee extension preserved at 30 mins after either an ACB or FNB. Secondary outcomes included MVIC of knee extension at 60 min, hip adduction at 30 and 60 mins, and assessment of fall risk with the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) at 30 minutes.

Exclusion Criteria:
This arm received an ultrasound guided adductor canal block with 15mL of chloroprocaine 3% followed by motor, sensory and balance assessments. Then the patients received an ultrasound guided femoral nerve block with 15mL of chloroprocaine 3% followed by sensory and motor assessments.
