This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This research compares two ways of guiding your walking on a treadmill after ACL reconstruction surgery. You'll walk while following visual rhythm cues on a screen—one type tailored to your natural walking pattern, and another with a fixed, steady beat. The study aims to understand which approach helps restore normal gait variability and brain-to-muscle communication better.
After ACL surgery, athletes often develop abnormal walking patterns that increase injury risk. This study explores whether personalized rhythm guidance during rehabilitation can help restore more natural and protective walking mechanics.

You will complete two separate sessions, one week apart. In each session, you'll walk on a treadmill for 12 minutes while following a visual rhythm guide on a screen in front of you—first with one type of rhythm, then the other type in your second visit. Before and after each guided walk, you'll also complete short uncued walking trials. The study team will measure your walking patterns using sensors and may use a magnetic stimulation technique to assess how your brain communicates with your leg muscles.
