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 compares two different rehabilitation programs after ACL reconstruction surgery — one standard and one accelerated — to see if a faster recovery is safe and effective. It also checks whether adding a suture tape (a strong reinforcement) to the reconstruction makes a difference.
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 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 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 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.
