Study testing walking changes after ACL surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study looks at how your walking pattern adapts when you follow a purposely uneven walking setup. It may help researchers understand recovery after ACL surgery and how to improve return-to-sport safety.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You can read and speak English
- You are between 18 and 30 years old
- You had ACL reconstruction surgery at the UConn Musculoskeletal Institute
- You have been cleared to return to sport, and it happened within the last month

This study tests whether special balance and body awareness exercises can help you walk better and improve your knee function after ACL reconstruction. If you are in the early stages of recovery, this program may help you regain control of your knee.
This study tests whether a specific exercise program can improve knee health in people who have had ACL surgery. It aims to understand how exercise affects the knee after injury and may help prevent arthritis.
This study looks at how doing a thinking task at the same time as a walking or balance task affects recovery in people who have had ACL reconstruction surgery. It may help you understand what to expect during later stages of rehab.
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.
This study tests whether doing single-leg mini-squats (20-degree bend) along with standard rehab exercises helps improve how your walk works after ACL reconstruction. It focuses on people whose thigh muscle is weaker on the surgery side.
This study checks if two different strength and balance tests can help track recovery after ACL surgery. You'll do the K-STARTS test (a movement test) and an isokinetic test (a leg strength test) to see how your knee is healing.
