Vibration therapy after ACL knee surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding gentle vibration to your rehab exercises helps your knee get stronger and work better after ACL surgery. If you join, you'll do your usual physical therapy, but some of the exercises will be done on a special vibrating platform.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) surgery to rebuild the ligament in your knee.
- Your surgery used either the Kenneth Jones method or a hamstring graft.
- You are between 18 and 45 years old.
- You are receiving your care at the Dracy-le-Fort Orthopedic Center.
- This is your first ACL surgery on this knee.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

This trial tests if adding electrical stimulation to standard physical therapy helps people recover strength and movement after ACL reconstruction surgery. It compares two rehab programs starting within days after surgery.
This study tests whether a remote physical therapy program using a mobile app can help people recover after surgery to rebuild the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the knee. It compares guided at-home exercises to standard care, aiming to make rehab easier and more accessible.
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 whether using vibration after an ACL injury helps predict or reduce the risk of developing post-traumatic osteoarthritis (wear-and-tear arthritis) later. It may help researchers learn which patients are more likely to develop arthritis after ACL reconstruction.
This trial studies whether a vibrating device on the front of the knee can reduce persistent pain after ACL reconstruction. It may help people whose pain is focused in one knee and isn’t caused by arthritis or other knee problems.
This study tests whether doing mental practice (imagining leg movements) along with usual physical therapy can improve recovery after ACL reconstruction surgery. If you qualify, you'll help see if this mind-body approach boosts knee strength and movement.
