Split-belt treadmill training after ACL reconstruction
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether walking on a special split-belt treadmill (where each belt moves at a different speed) can help improve how your knee moves and feels after ACL reconstruction. The goal is to see if this training leads to better long-term knee health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 14 and 45 years old.
- You had a complete ACL tear confirmed by MRI or physical exam.
- You had ACL reconstruction surgery using your own tissue (autograft) within the last 10 months.
- You are willing to come in for testing and follow-up visits.
- You speak English.
- You have not had a previous ACL injury, any knee surgery, or a major knee dislocation.

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 a special treadmill with two independent belts moving at different speeds to help people recovering from stroke relearn how to walk. It may improve walking balance and strength on the weaker side of the body.
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 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 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 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.
