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 balance and body awareness (called proprioception) change after ACL surgery. It helps to see if your body's ability to use different senses for balance improves over time, which can guide better rehabilitation.
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 looks at how ankle instability might affect the alignment of your pelvis in male football players. Participants will have their pelvic alignment measured, and the results may help guide future treatments for ankle problems.
This study tests whether doing mental practice (imagining leg movements) along with usual physical therapy can improve recovery after ACL reconstruction surgery. If you qualify, you'll help see if this mind-body approach boosts knee strength and movement.
This study looks at how amateur athletes return to sports six months after reconstructive surgery for a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), which is a key knee ligament. It uses physical tests to measure knee strength and function, which may help guide your recovery.
