NCT ID NCT07268651
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding proprioceptive (balance and coordination) training to standard physical therapy can improve walking and knee function in people who have had ACL reconstruction. Thirty adults aged 18-40 will do either standard rehab or standard rehab plus extra balance exercises for 12 weeks. Researchers will measure walking speed, step length, knee motion, and strength before and after the program.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
proprioceptive training (a type of exercise therapy)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could lead to better, more targeted rehab programs that help people walk normally and regain knee function faster after ACL surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The training is added to standard rehab, so any benefit may be modest.
