Balance and movement training for knee recovery after ACL surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether special balance and movement training (called proprioceptive training) can improve your walking and knee function after ACL reconstruction. It might help you recover better during early rehab.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 40 years old.
- You have had ACL reconstruction surgery on one knee using a graft from your own body.

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.
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.
This study looks at how your walking pattern adapts when you follow a purposely uneven walking setup. It may help researchers understand recovery after ACL surgery and how to improve return-to-sport safety.
This trial tests whether special balance and movement exercises (proprioceptive exercises) help people recover better after ACL knee surgery. You would start these exercises during the second week of your rehab program.
This study tests if a special video-based balance training program helps people recover knee function better after ACL reconstruction surgery. It is designed for patients who had surgery within the past year using their own hamstring tendon.
This study compares two types of physical therapy exercises to see which works better for reducing pain, improving movement, balance, and daily function in men who have had ACL surgery. It may help you recover more fully after your knee surgery.
