Hamstring exercises with physiotherapy for football players with mild ACL injury
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests if adding special hamstring exercises to standard physiotherapy can help young football players recover better after a mild ACL tear. It focuses on improving sports performance and quality of life with no surgery needed.

This trial tests whether adding mentally challenging exercises to physical therapy helps improve balance, joint awareness, and reaction time after ACL reconstruction. It may be a good fit if you are at least 8 weeks post-surgery, have completed initial rehab, and meet specific recovery milestones.
This study tests whether wearing a special device (PEMF) for a few minutes each day can help you regain hamstring strength more quickly after ACL surgery. If your hamstring is still weaker than your other leg at 4 months, this may help you recover better.
This study is checking how football players' sprint, agility, balance, and body awareness change after training, depending on whether they have had a hamstring injury before. It will help understand how to prevent future injuries.
This trial tests whether doing special exercises before ACL surgery (called prehabilitation) helps you recover better after the operation. It's for people who have a first-time ACL tear and are scheduled for reconstruction surgery using a tendon from their own body.
This study tests if adding amino acid supplements to standard rehab helps football players recover faster from partial hamstring injuries. It aims to improve muscle healing and reduce recovery time.
This study tests whether a specific exercise program can improve knee health in people who have had ACL surgery. It aims to understand how exercise affects the knee after injury and may help prevent arthritis.
