Normal knee rotation in athletes
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study measures normal knee rotation in athletes who play sports with pivoting movements. It helps doctors understand what healthy knee motion looks like, so they can better diagnose injuries.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an athlete who plays a competitive sport that involves pivoting (like soccer, basketball, tennis, or skiing).
- Your knees are healthy — no past injuries to ligaments, meniscus, cartilage, or bones in the knee.
- You have no current knee pain, stiffness, or instability.
- You have never had knee surgery (including ligament reconstruction).
- You are 15 years old or older.
- You do not have any medical condition that affects your muscles or bones.

This study tests whether your sense of body position and movement affects your risk of knee or ankle ligament injuries while playing sports like rugby, soccer, or handball. Participating could help identify ways to prevent these injuries.
This study looks at how athletes with patellar tendinopathy (jumper's knee) move compared to healthy athletes. It uses special motion tracking to identify differences that could help understand and manage this common knee pain.
This study compares two surgery techniques for ACL tears where the knee also twists too much inward. It aims to find which method leads to better long-term knee stability.
This study measures how much the knee moves after an ACL tear, using tests like the pivot shift. It helps doctors understand knee stability and guide treatment.
This study looks at how the knee moves during surgery to fix a torn ACL. It may help doctors understand how to improve recovery after ACL and LAL reconstruction.
This trial is for people with a torn ACL who are young (up to 25) and have certain risk factors for knee instability. It will follow them long-term to see how their knee does without surgery, focusing on those who are active in pivoting sports, have a loose knee joint, or have naturally loose joints.
