Early walking training after ACL knee surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 trial tests whether special balance and movement exercises (proprioceptive exercises) help people recover better after ACL knee surgery. You would start these exercises during the second week of your rehab program.
