Can visual-guided balance training get ACL patients back on their feet faster?
NCT ID NCT07306221
First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether adding visual-guided balance training to standard rehab can improve knee function and walking patterns in people who had ACL reconstruction. 45 patients will be split into two groups: one doing standard rehab plus regular balance exercises, and the other doing standard rehab plus visual-guided balance training. The goal is to see if the visual-guided approach helps patients recover more fully and move more like healthy individuals.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only โ not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- visual-guided balance training
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could provide a better rehabilitation method to help people recover knee function and walk more normally after ACL surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 45 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The training is an add-on to standard rehab, so any benefit may be modest.
