Understanding how movement changes after ACL surgery
Official title: Movement System Resiliency: Understanding Motor Responses to Mechanical Perturbation after ACLR
Funded at Ohio State University · NIH-10998145 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is looking at how people who have had knee surgery for a torn ligament move and respond to different challenges, with the goal of finding better ways to help them recover and avoid getting hurt again, especially for athletes and older adults.

Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Ideal candidates for this research include young athletes who have recently undergone ACL reconstruction and are preparing to return to sports.
✕Less likely to help
Patients who have not had ACL injuries or surgeries may not benefit from this research.
What this research studies
This research investigates how individuals who have undergone anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) respond to mechanical challenges during movement. By using innovative nonlinear methodologies, the study aims to uncover the interactions within the movement system that may contribute to persistent functional deficits and the risk of re-injury. The goal is to enhance rehabilitation strategies by tailoring treatments to improve movement effectiveness and prevent future injuries, particularly for athletes and older adults. Participants will be assessed in a clinical setting to gather data on their motor responses.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved rehabilitation techniques that reduce the risk of re-injury and enhance recovery for patients after ACL surgery.
How similar studies have gone: Previous research has shown promise in using nonlinear methodologies to improve understanding of movement dynamics, suggesting potential for success in this innovative approach.
