NCT ID NCT06193343

First seen May 13, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026

Summary

This study looks at how the number of daily steps affects knee cartilage health in people who have had ACL reconstruction surgery. Researchers will use MRI scans to measure cartilage changes and track step counts over a week. The goal is to understand if low daily steps lead to weaker cartilage and higher osteoarthritis risk. 56 participants who had ACL surgery 6-60 months ago will be enrolled.
