NCT ID NCT06635668
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This observational study will collect movement data from 5,000 healthy athletes aged 10 to 65 who play organized sports. Researchers will track participants for 12 months to see who gets injured, especially ACL tears. The goal is to build a database of normal movement patterns to better understand injury risks.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could help identify movement patterns that increase ACL injury risk, leading to better prevention programs for athletes.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It only collects data and does not test any intervention, so it cannot directly prevent or treat injuries.
