This randomized controlled trial study will include 32 athletes aged 18-35 who had ACL surgery. After surgery, participants will be selected and assigned randomly to the Functional Movement Training or Functional Stability Training groups. The Functional Movement Training protocol will include exercise: deep squat, hurdle step, in-line lunge, active straight leg raise, trunk stability push-up, and rotatory stability etc. The Functional Stability Training protocol will emphasize exercises Single-leg squats, Balance boards or BOSU ball training, Planks and side planks., Step-ups, lunges, and agility drills. Both exercises will be performed 3 times per week for 8 weeks. The main goals will be to assess pain, balance and function and knee stability. The Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), Japanese Knee Questionnaire (JACL 25) and PRSI tools will be used for collecting data. The analysis will be conducted with SPSS software and it will include use of descriptive statistics, Normality test, independent t-tests, and paired t-tests. The significance level will be p \< 0.05 for this study.
Athletes involves fast movement and intense activity which places great stress on the leg muscles and increases the chances of ACL injuries. Changing direction quickly, jumping and landing strangely or encountering another person or an object can result in these injuries. Rehabilitation efforts after ACL reconstruction should cover strengthening the joint and enhancing neuromuscular skills that athletes need for their sporting activities. It is hypothesized that following rehabilitation protocols involving functional movements and stability exercises may improve control of muscles, make joints more stable and lead to safer movement techniques. Aiming to see the effects of Functional Movement Training compared to Functional Stability Training on function and stability post-ACL surgery in athletes, this study will investigate their meaning.

Numeric Pain rating Scale
The Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) is an 11-point pain intensity scale where patients rate their pain from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst imaginable pain)
Time frame: Pre and 6 week post interventional
JACL-25 (Japanese Anterior Cruciate Ligament Questionnaire 25)
Stablity and function through JACL-25, The JACL-25 (Japanese Anterior Cruciate Ligament Questionnaire 25) is a patient-reported outcome measure scored from 0 to 100, where higher scores indicate a worse condition, greater fear of motion, or higher psychological disability
Time frame: Pre and 6 week post interventional
Plan to share: No
Started Oct 2025 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Oct 2026, 12 months after the start.
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 12 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.
Since we started tracking on Sep 25, 2026, the dates moved once, on Sep 30, 2026: primary completion Jul 2026 → Oct 2026 and completion Jul 2026 → Oct 2026.
