Balance exercises after ACL surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 20 and 40 years old.
- You had surgery to repair your anterior cruciate ligament (the ACL in your knee).
- You are now in the second week of your post-surgery recovery/rehabilitation.
- You did not have a meniscus tear (the cartilage cushion in your knee) or a medial collateral ligament (MCL) tear at the time of surgery.
- You are not in the first week of your rehab (too early) – you must be in week 2.

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 physical therapy methods—perturbation training (balance challenges) versus functional activity training—to help men recover better knee movement, balance, and strength after ACL reconstruction surgery. It aims to find which approach reduces pain and improves daily activities more effectively.
This study looks at how your exercise habits before surgery might affect your knee function and the chance of re-injury after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. It aims to help doctors give better advice on post-surgery rehabilitation.
This study tests whether doing single-leg mini-squats (20-degree bend) along with standard rehab exercises helps improve how your walk works after ACL reconstruction. It focuses on people whose thigh muscle is weaker on the surgery side.
This study checks if two different strength and balance tests can help track recovery after ACL surgery. You'll do the K-STARTS test (a movement test) and an isokinetic test (a leg strength test) to see how your knee is healing.
This study looks at how thinking skills affect balance in young adults who had ACL repair surgery in the past 5-7 months, compared to healthy young adults. You will do balance tasks and answer some questions.
