ACL Reconstruction Surgery - Week 14 Rehab Components | Tim Keeley | Physio REHAB

#acl #aclsurgery #aclrehab
My patient Henna has had an ACL reconstruction (hamstring graft), a medial meniscal repair and a MCL tear. At Week 14 post-op she is doing well considering the amount of stiffness she has had in the knee into extension and flexion from the multiple injuries and wearing a brace to heal the MCL.
But hard work pays of (she is very committed!) and so now she is on track with ALL her exercises in this stage. Today I outline just SOME of the essential componentry in her rehab program for week 14:
Single leg strength: Loaded step down
Single leg stability: BOSU skater squats
Strength testing preparation: Pistol squats
Impact loading: 1 to 2 leg Box jump
Running preparation: Impact side steps
Flexion mobility: Kneeling quadriceps stretching
We will follow up Henna down the track to show you her awesome progress!

I love the way you actually demonstrate with people who have had the surgery! Seen so many videos with a pt zipping about showing the exercises! Infuriating.

[@physiorehab]

Glad you liked it! Check out the next video releasing today for her latest progress

Great videos and exercise ideas/progressions. Helping me a lot in terms of getting my mind back in to the world of MSK physio as I just got my Ahpra reg over here!

Hi! Thanks for the video. I was wondering what the name of the cloth or brace is on her knee? I would really like to purchase I’m at week 14 as well

[@physiorehab]

That’s just a standard double layer tubigrip compression stocking. Nothing fancy :)

[@merinjose8721]

I had acl reconstruction,medial meniscus partial menisectomy,lateral meniscal repair..it's been 11 weeks after surgery. Is cycling good now for building strength? Can I start jogging now

[@physiorehab]

All the answers are in my rehab program here: physiorehab.com/rehab-programs-acl-knee-surgery-rehab

[@briana1225]

Do you have any advice on how to decide if ACL reconstruction is the right choice? I have a partial tear and I don't know. I work in fitness and reconstruction would mean being out of a job for a year

[@physiorehab]

Only if you have recurring instability, pain or it’s affecting your quality of life

[@joshuawalston9044]

I had acl pattela and meniscus repair just to be clear I can work on the straightening stretch right away correct ? I'm on day 4 and started it yesterday

[@physiorehab]

Yeah as long as you are cleared by your surgeon. If you want to follow my ACL program go here: physiorehab.com/rehab-programs-acl-knee-surgery-rehab

[@barzonly87]

What should I be doing 3 years after surgery?

[@physiorehab]

Strengthening and stability drills of you still have issues. This program can help set you right: www.physiorehab.com/rehab-programs-acl-knee-surgery-rehab

[@healwithsteel]

Why the bosu ball? Why make an unstable person more unstable?

[@swsw6027]

It trains Stability -> Proprioception :)

[@physiorehab]

Yep
