Gait retraining after ACL surgery for fast knee recovery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a walking (gait) rehabilitation program to improve how you move after ACL reconstruction. It may help if you are still having walking mechanics issues in the months to years after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You finished your other planned physical therapy programs before joining
- You are between 16 and 35 years old
- You had ACL reconstruction between 6 and 60 months before enrolling
- Your walking test shows “underloading” (your knee/leg force during impact is below a set target)
- You have NOT had surgery involving more than one knee ligament (like PCL surgery)

This study tests whether increasing your daily steps after ACL reconstruction can help prevent knee osteoarthritis. It involves walking more and tracking your activity over time.
This trial tests whether a structured walking retraining program can improve how your leg moves if you have knee osteoarthritis. It may help reduce strain on your lower body during walking by changing walking technique.
This trial studies whether starting walking exercises earlier after ACL reconstruction can help protect the knee cartilage from wearing down. It may be a good fit if you are having your first ACL surgery at Peking University Third Hospital and your knee has already healed from the initial injury.
This study tests if a special video-based balance training program helps people recover knee function better after ACL reconstruction surgery. It is designed for patients who had surgery within the past year using their own hamstring tendon.
This study compares two types of physical therapy exercises to see which works better for reducing pain, improving movement, balance, and daily function in men who have had ACL surgery. It may help you recover more fully after your knee surgery.
This study tests whether doing a simple exercise—single-leg squats at a slight angle—along with standard rehab helps improve how you walk after ACL surgery. It aims to see if the exercise helps your knee move better during everyday activities.
