Functional Movement Training vs Functional Stability Training after ACL Surgery

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

The study enrolls 32 athletes aged 18-35 who recently had ACL reconstruction. Participants are randomized to Functional Movement Training or Functional Stability Training for 8 weeks, with sessions three times weekly. The Movement program includes squats, hurdle steps, lunges, leg raises, core and rotary stability exercises, while the Stability program emphasizes single-leg squats, balance training, planks, step-ups, lunges, and agility drills. Outcomes include pain, balance, function, and knee stability, assessed with NPRS, JACL-25, and PRSI, with data analyzed in SPSS.
