What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are among the most prevalent and functionally limiting knee injuries in sports, particularly those that involve pivoting movements. Despite advancements in surgical reconstruction and physical rehabilitation, many athletes continue to exhibit persistent motor control deficits and increased gait variability, both of which are closely linked to a heightened risk of re-injury and long-term joint degeneration. These deficits arise from biomechanical impairments and disrupt proprioceptive input that requires cortical reorganization, contributing to maladaptive neuroplasticity. However, conventional rehabilitation strategies often overlook this neural dimension. Recent findings emphasize the importance of fostering motor variability and promoting neuroplasticity through external focus strategies, including sensorimotor synchronization. While isochronou

📋 Eligibility rules (as published)
Inclusion Criteria: * Undergone unilateral ACL reconstruction less than 2 years ago; * Have medical release for the full load on the injury limb for at least 2 weeks; * Be independently pain-free walking; * Being sports athletes according to an athlete description: Training regularly to improve performance, actively participating in competitions or formally registering in a sports federation or association; * Must be able to understand and perform the requested task. Exclusion Criteria: * Participants with previous surgery on either knee; * Those with more than 3 months between ACL injury and surgery; * More than 2 weeks between surgery and the start of physical therapy; * Had another musculoskeletal injury in the lower limb within the past 6 months; * Another musculoskeletal surgery within the past 18 months; * Participants with a history of movement system pathologies, such as nervous system, cardiovascular, pulmonary, integumentary, or endocrine conditions; * Participants with vestibular or somatosensory system pathologies or visual impairments limiting their ability to see the metronome required for the task; * Use of medications that could affect locomotion and balance.
