Functional training after ACL surgery for athletes
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a male athlete between 18 and 35 years old
- You had ACL reconstructive surgery within the last 3 to 6 months

- You don't have other leg injuries that affect your rehab
- You don't have a chronic illness that affects your muscles or bones
- You are not struggling with alcohol or drug abuse

This study uses brain scans (fMRI) to see how a special type of movement training affects the brain after ACL surgery. If you've had an ACL repair and are active in sports, you may be eligible.
This study looks at how muscle strength, power, and control relate to daily function after ACL reconstruction. It may help you understand your recovery progress and guide your rehabilitation.
This study looks at how doing a thinking task at the same time as a walking or balance task affects recovery in people who have had ACL reconstruction surgery. It may help you understand what to expect during later stages of rehab.
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 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 tests if combining blood flow restriction training with a special manual technique (IASTM) helps reduce pain, build strength, improve knee movement, and lower fear of re-injury after ACL reconstruction. It is for people who are 8 to 16 weeks past surgery and already have good knee bending.
