Scientists seek normal knee rotation values to prevent ACL tears in athletes
NCT ID NCT07013019
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jul 08, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study aims to establish normal knee rotation values in healthy athletes who play pivot sports like soccer or basketball. Researchers will measure knee rotation in 482 athletes using a device called DYNEELAX. The goal is to better understand what is normal, so doctors can identify athletes at higher risk for ACL injuries and create better prevention strategies.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide normal knee rotation values to help identify athletes at higher risk for ACL injuries and guide personalized prevention programs.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It only establishes reference values and does not directly test any intervention or outcome.
