Study summary

The purpose of this study is to compare changes in lower limb symmetry during functional and strength tests, before and after the motor imagery program, in patients who received the 3-week motor imagery program starting 3 months post-surgery versus patients who did not receive the motor imagery program.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective, comparative, randomized, controlled, single-blind (patient), single-center study evaluating the effects of a motor imagery program in parallel with rehabilitation sessions in patients who have had an anterior cruciate ligament rupture.

The study population is composed of adult patients who underwent reconstructive surgery after anterior cruciate ligament rupture, followed up at the Clinique de la Sauvegarde in Lyon for post-operative functional and strength testing of the anterior cruciate ligament.

Patients included in the study will be randomized into two study arms (experimental arm and control arm).

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Start is estimated for Oct 2026; primary completion for Mar 2028, 17 months later.

Of 278 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries, half reached primary completion within 31 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 14 and three quarters within 70. This study's planned 17 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 287 studies reached it within 30 months; a quarter within 14 and three quarters within 70.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Sep 21, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
