Knee extension loss after ACL reconstruction
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at why some people still have trouble fully straightening their knee after ACL reconstruction. It compares people who have full extension to those who don't, to find out what might be limiting recovery. The goal is to help improve rehab after ACL surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had ACL reconstruction surgery using a hamstring tendon graft (not a patellar tendon graft, not a donor graft).
- You are between 18 and 45 years old.
- Your ACL injury happened from a non-contact event (like twisting or landing, not from being hit by someone).
- You were active in sports or high-level activities before the injury (Tegner score above 5).
- You attended your post-surgery rehab regularly, missing no more than 3 sessions.

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 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.
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 how well the knee recovers its strength after ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) reconstruction surgery using two different graft options. By tracking your progress over time, researchers hope to understand which graft type helps you regain the most strength.
This trial is for people who have had a first-time ACL reconstruction using their own patellar tendon. It's testing a new way to help restore knee extension after surgery, which can improve your recovery and long-term knee function.
