Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

A randomized control trial where subjects following an anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction will be randomized to either a control group who will receive the normal rehabilitation or an experimental group who will perform a 2-week gait rehabilitation using the anti-gravity treadmill in addition to the normal rehabilitation. The intervention will be added to the existing care received at Linkoping University Hospital 2 weeks post-surgery, while the evaluation will be performed in week 5 and 12 post-surgery using: a 3D-gait analysis (with the Qualisys software), self-reported function questionnaires and a clinical examination.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Gait rehabilitation

Will perform 2 weeks of gait rehabilitation using the anti gravity treadmill. Intervention will start 2 weeks post-surgery. This rehabilitation will be performed simultaneously as the patient receives the standardized rehabilitation at Linkoping University Hospital.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Gait rehabilitating with reduced bodyweight

Intervention Type OTHER

Patients will perform 8 sessions of gait rehabilitation with reduced bodyweight using the anti gravity treadmill during week 2-5 post-surgery.

Standardized rehabilitation following an anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction at Linkoping University Hospital

Intervention Type OTHER

Exercises for increased movement and circulation performed on a daily basis.

Control group

Will only receive the standardized rehabilitation at Linkoping University Hospital.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Standardized rehabilitation following an anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction at Linkoping University Hospital

Intervention Type OTHER

Exercises for increased movement and circulation performed on a daily basis.
