ACL INJURY

This study looks at whether people with an ACL tear can get better with rehabilitation alone, without surgery. Researchers will track 400 participants' knee function, symptoms, and how many end up needing surgery anyway. The goal is to see if non-surgical treatment is a good opti…

This study looks at a surgery to repair partially torn anterior cruciate ligaments (ACL) in the knee. Researchers will track 30 people aged 15 to 50 to see how well the surgery improves knee function and stability. The goal is to help patients recover better and avoid a complete …

This study tests whether a concentrated bone marrow injection (cBMA) given during revision ACL surgery can reduce knee pain and inflammation from post-traumatic osteoarthritis. About 40 adults aged 18-55 who need a second ACL repair will be randomly assigned to get cBMA or not. R…

This study looks at whether a special exercise program (neuromotor training) after ACL knee surgery can change how the brain controls movement. Researchers will use brain scans (fMRI) to see if the training helps reduce risky movement patterns that can lead to another injury. The…

This study looks at why Hispanic teenagers often wait longer for knee surgery after an injury, which can lead to long-term problems like arthritis. Researchers will interview athletes, families, and coaches to understand barriers such as insurance or language issues. Then they wi…

This study is testing a wearable sensor that measures muscle oxygen levels in high school and college athletes recovering from ACL or hip surgery. The goal is to see if the sensor can provide better data to help decide when it's safe to return to sports. About 226 athletes aged 1…

This small pilot study tests if walking on a split-belt treadmill (where each leg moves at a different speed) can improve how people load their knee after ACL reconstruction. Nine participants who had ACL surgery in the past 10 months will be randomly assigned to one of two train…

This study aims to build a database of normal movement patterns in healthy athletes aged 10 to 65. Researchers will track participants for 12 months to see who gets injured, especially ACL injuries. The goal is to better understand injury risk factors, not to test a treatment.

This study looks at whether people with an ACL tear have a weaker soleus muscle (a calf muscle) compared to their uninjured leg and to healthy people. Researchers will measure muscle strength using a special device and ask participants about knee stability. The goal is to better …

This study follows 1000 people who have ACL knee surgery to see how their knee functions over time. Participants will be checked before surgery and again at 6 months, 1, 2, and 5 years after, either in person or by phone. The goal is to measure knee stability and quality of life …
