This study is exploring a new way to help people recover after Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery. Many people tend to put less weight on their surgical knee, which can lead to problems later. This study uses a special treadmill called a split-belt treadmill, where each side moves at a different speed. There are two types of Split-Belt Training being tested: one where the ACL leg's belt moves faster or slower than the other, and a Placebo Split-Belt Training where the ACL leg's belt moves only slightly slower. Researchers want to see if this training can improve how you use your knee, specifically by looking at the knee's loading (sagittal plane knee moment). You might be able to join if you are 14-45 years old, had an ACL reconstruction with an autograft within the last 10 months, and speak English. The study is currently recruiting a small number of participants to gather initial information for a larger future study.

Study design

This is an interventional study with a planned enrollment of 9 participants. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two Split-Belt Training groups or a placebo group.

What's involved

You would participate in a 6-week training intervention. Measurements of your knee loading will be taken before training, midway through (3 weeks), and after training (6 weeks).

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

Your knee loading will be measured after training (6 weeks), which is the final time point mentioned.
