Exercise with sound cues after ACL reconstruction
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests if adding sounds (like a metronome beat) to your rehab exercises helps your leg muscles work better after ACL reconstruction. It is for athletes who had their ACL surgery within the past 2 weeks and are ready to start moving.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had ACL surgery (using hamstring or kneecap tendon graft) within the last 2 weeks, with or without meniscus repair.
- You are between 18 and 35 years old.
- Your BMI is between 18.5 and 25.
- You have little or no pain at rest (0-3 on a 0-10 scale).
- You can actively or passively bend your knee at least 30 degrees on your surgical side.
- You are cleared to put weight on your leg (not non-weight bearing).

This study compares two types of rhythm-based training (fractal vs isochronous cueing) to see which helps athletes regain better movement after ACL reconstruction. If you're an athlete who had ACL surgery less than two years ago and are now pain-free walking, you may be able to join.
This study compares two different exercise programs to help people recover knee strength and function after ACL reconstruction surgery. One program uses steady machine-based exercises, while the other uses jumping and quick movements. The goal is to find which approach works better for getting you back to normal activities.
This study tests whether adding gentle vibration to your rehab exercises helps your knee get stronger and work better after ACL surgery. If you join, you'll do your usual physical therapy, but some of the exercises will be done on a special vibrating platform.
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 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 a sports rehabilitation (exercise) program for people with both an ACL tear and kneecap cartilage damage. The goal is to see if a structured exercise plan can improve knee function and reduce pain, helping you recover without surgery.
