Balance and thinking test for young adults after ACL surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how thinking skills affect balance in young adults who had ACL repair surgery in the past 5-7 months, compared to healthy young adults. You will do balance tasks and answer some questions.

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 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.
This study checks if two different strength and balance tests can help track recovery after ACL surgery. You'll do the K-STARTS test (a movement test) and an isokinetic test (a leg strength test) to see how your knee is healing.
This study compares two physical therapy methods—perturbation training (balance challenges) versus functional activity training—to help men recover better knee movement, balance, and strength after ACL reconstruction surgery. It aims to find which approach reduces pain and improves daily activities more effectively.
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 looks at how your body's sense of balance (called proprioception) changes after ACL surgery. Researchers want to understand how your brain adapts to help you recover better.
