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 is looking at how well the ACL heals after surgery in the long term. It helps researchers understand recovery patterns, so you may get a closer look at your knee's healing process.
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 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 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 trial tests whether adding mentally challenging exercises to physical therapy helps improve balance, joint awareness, and reaction time after ACL reconstruction. It may be a good fit if you are at least 8 weeks post-surgery, have completed initial rehab, and meet specific recovery milestones.
