Michigan Split-belt Treadmill Training Program to Improve Acute Knee Biomechanics After ACL Reconstruction
Sponsor: University of Michigan
Summary
The goal of this study is to determine short-term adaptations (aftereffects) in knee loading after a 20-minute split-belt treadmill training session in patients with ACL reconstruction. Our main question for this aim are: 1. Are training-mediated aftereffects in the knee joint moment greater for tied-belt walking or split-belt walking? 2. Are training-mediated aftereffects in the knee joint moment different between subjects who train early stance knee loading versus subjects who train mid-stance knee loading?

Conditions
Interventions
Split-belt Training
Walking on a split-belt treadmill in which the speed of one belt will be different (move faster or slower) than the speed of the other belt.
Tied-Belt Training
Walking on a split-belt treadmill in which the speed of both belts is the same.
