Motor imaging benefits after ACL reconstruction
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests whether practicing motor imagery (thinking through movements without actually moving) can help you recover better after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery. If you are between 18 and 45, had your first ACL reconstruction in the last 3 months, and can understand and read French, you may be able to join.

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 getting ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) surgery. It tests if tracking your recovery through questionnaires on a phone or tablet helps improve outcomes.
This study tests if motor imagery training (mentally practicing movements) helps football players recover after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) repair surgery. It might improve muscle control and confidence without doing physical exercise.
This study uses brain scans (fMRI) to see how a special type of movement training affects the brain after ACL surgery. If you've had an ACL repair and are active in sports, you may be eligible.
This study tests whether imagining yourself doing exercises can help you regain strength in your thigh muscle after ACL surgery, and if it's something people can stick with during physical therapy.
This study looks at how doing a thinking task at the same time as a walking or balance task affects recovery in people who have had ACL reconstruction surgery. It may help you understand what to expect during later stages of rehab.
