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
- You must show more than a 10% difference between legs in how much load they take while walking

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 study tests whether special balance and movement training (called proprioceptive training) can improve your walking and knee function after ACL reconstruction. It might help you recover better during early rehab.
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.
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 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 different exercise programs to help people recover knee strength and function after ACL reconstruction surgery. One program uses steady machine-based exercises, while the other uses jumping and quick movements. The goal is to find which approach works better for getting you back to normal activities.
