Proprioception and ligament injury risk in pivoting sports
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an athlete training in a high-level sports program
- You are between 14 and 25 years old
- You regularly play a pivot-contact sport like rugby, soccer, or handball
- You have not had a lower limb injury or concussion in the past 6 weeks
- You do not have a known neurological or balance disorder
- You (or your legal guardian) can agree to take part in the study

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.
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.
This study tests whether a special test done 3 months after ankle ligament surgery helps people get back to sports more safely. It is for active adults who had surgery for chronic ankle instability.
This study compares the pelvis shape and alignment between male football players with chronic ankle instability (recurring ankle weakness and 'giving way') and those with healthy ankles. The goal is to understand whether long-term ankle problems affect how the pelvis sits and moves, which could help explain injury patterns in athletes.
This study tests an “optimized” rehabilitation plan after ACL reconstruction to help people safely return to competitive sports. It’s for people who had an ACL surgery and still want to play sports that involve cutting, pivoting, or contact.
This study looks at how well people regain body awareness, muscle strength, and fear of movement after ACL knee surgery. It may help understand recovery patterns in the first year after surgery.
