Balance training for walking and knee function after ACL surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether special balance and body awareness exercises can help you walk better and improve your knee function after ACL reconstruction. If you are in the early stages of recovery, this program may help you regain control of your knee.
