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.

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 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 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 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 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 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.
