The following exercises form part of our ACL Sprain rehab program and include mobility, strengthening, proprioception, and functional sports-specific exercises.
Mobility exercises
Knee mobility exercises can begin during the pre-operative phase of ACL rehabilitation if pain allows. Mobility is most important after surgery and should begin as soon as possible within the first two weeks after surgery.
Strengthening exercises
Strengthening exercises can also begin as soon as pain allows. The further you can get with strengthening exercises prior to surgery then the more likely you are to have a faster recovery post-operation.
Proprioception exercises
Proprioception is similar to balance but means the awareness of where your body (or body part) is in space. These ACL exercises help in controlling the movement of the limb and preventing re-injury.
Functional sports-specific
Plyometric exercises involve dynamic and sometimes explosive movements.
