Michigan Split-belt Treadmill Training Program to Improve Long-Term Knee Biomechanics After ACL Reconstruction
NCT06529692 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The goal of this study is to gather pilot data to help inform a future clinical trial. As such, the investigators will employ a randomized clinical trial design, but data will only be collected on 9 total subjects. Nine subjects will be randomized to 2 split-belt intervention groups (one group where early stance loading is trained and the other where midstance loading is trained) and a placebo group. The goal of this study is to explore the adaptations in knee loading from a 6-week split-belt training intervention. The investigators' main question for this aim is: 1. Does knee loading, measured by the sagittal plane knee moment, change to a greater extent in the split-belt treadmill training groups compared to the placebo group? 2. Are there differences in training-related knee loading changes between individuals trained in the early stance vs. midstance loading split-belt training?

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT06529692
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT06529692 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 9 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of Michigan, which has 1,126 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 3 conditions, with ACL Injury appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Placebo Split-Belt Training is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT06529692 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Michigan. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
