Thinking and moving after ACL surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 40 years old.
- You have torn your ACL (a key knee ligament).
- You had surgery to rebuild your ACL at AZ Delta hospital in Roeselare (Campus Brugsesteenweg).
- This must be your first ACL reconstruction surgery, not a repeat surgery.
- You have not had any other serious leg injuries in the past year.
- You do not have a muscle or nerve condition, fibromyalgia, or chronic fatigue syndrome.

This study uses brain scans (fMRI) to see how a special type of movement training affects the brain after ACL surgery. If you've had an ACL repair and are active in sports, you may be eligible.
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 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.
This study tests if a specific exercise (eccentric training) helps people recover better after ACL surgery. You may join if you are between 18 and 40 and are scheduled for this surgery.
This study looks at outcomes after surgery to repair the ACL (a knee ligament that helps stabilize the joint). If you’re having ACL reconstruction, the trial may help doctors understand what factors lead to better recovery.
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.
