Stability and Jump Training After ACL Surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two types of exercise programs for people who had ACL (knee ligament) reconstruction surgery 1-3 years ago. The goal is to see which training approach—focusing on balance and stability or on jumping and power—helps restore better knee function and strength.

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 compares two types of exercise programs for male athletes who had ACL reconstruction surgery 3 to 6 months ago. It aims to see which training approach helps you recover better and return to sports.
This trial tests whether adding jump (plyometric) exercises to your recovery after ACL reconstruction can improve your strength and function. If you've had ACL surgery and are ready for more advanced rehab, this could help you get back to sports and daily activities.
This study compares two different exercise programs to help people recover knee strength and function after ACL reconstruction surgery. One program uses steady machine-based exercises, while the other uses jumping and quick movements. The goal is to find which approach works better for getting you back to normal activities.
This study looks at whether special jumping and strength tests (called ballistic tests) can help guide recovery after ACL surgery. It compares the results of these tests to your usual knee function to find the best way to return to sports safely.
This study uses multiple vertical jump tests to help decide if athletes who had ACL reconstruction surgery are ready to return to sports. It aims to find better ways to assess recovery and prevent re-injury.
