Balance training after ACL surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a man between 18 and 45 years old.
- You had ACL surgery using a hamstring tendon graft 3 to 12 months ago.
- This is your first ACL surgery on that knee.
- Your knee bends less than 120 degrees and you have a small extension lag (less than 10 degrees).
- You have pain when doing everyday activities.
- You do not have other knee injuries, fractures, or conditions like arthritis or nerve problems.

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 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.
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 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 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.
