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 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.
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 tests whether doing a simple exercise—single-leg squats at a slight angle—along with standard rehab helps improve how you walk after ACL surgery. It aims to see if the exercise helps your knee move better during everyday activities.
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.
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.
This study looks at how your balance and body awareness (called proprioception) change after ACL surgery. It helps to see if your body's ability to use different senses for balance improves over time, which can guide better rehabilitation.
