NCT ID NCT07659613
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at a new test called NEURO-K-STARTS for people who have had ACL knee surgery. The test combines standard jumping exercises with mental challenges to better mimic real sports situations. Researchers want to see if this combined approach gives a clearer picture of when it is safe to return to sports, compared to physical tests alone. The study involves 144 participants who are at least six months past their surgery.

What this could lead to
If successful, this test could provide a more accurate way to decide when athletes are truly ready to return to sports after ACL surgery, potentially reducing re-injury risk.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage observational study with no treatment being tested. The new test may not prove better than existing methods, and results may not apply to all athletes.
