ACL Reconstruction - Week 5: Bike, Balance and Hamstrings | Tim Keeley | Physio REHAB

[@joshuaagee4207]

This is great! I’m definitely going to purchase this program. This is my second ACL tear and no one has explained any of this too me. What a shame. Thanks! I was just at PT the other day doing single leg balance with my leg straight as a surf board using only my quads for strength and foot for balance and no one said a thing!!!

[@abiphotographysmdu]

I am also acl surgery patient,this video very useful for me

[@seanatsnow]

I'm not an acl patient, but I play one on TV... this helped me tremendously...

Within weeks of my acl surgery in was using the leg extension and leg curl machines. I started off with no weights and now im adding weights every week, my leg is getting stronger and my walking has improved alot because of it. Just working on my knee bend

[@MrBrownii13]

Hey how are you now?

[@duncankabitto3396]

@MrBrownii13 I'm good my leg is getting stronger, have got some leg size back and have increased the weights over time and now I walk properly and can run as well. My being has improved but not at full flection yet but I will get there in the end

[@MrBrownii13]

@@duncankabitto3396 great to here ! How Long is the surgery ago ? What Kind of graft and only acl ?

[@MrBrownii13]

I am Three weeks After surgery .. can walk without crutches but sometimes I feel Like giving in .. is that normal? I guess at that Stage .. because I don’t have muscles so far

[@duncankabitto3396]

@@MrBrownii13 I had my surgery on the 28th of March, I had 3 done acl, pcl and meniscus done

Hi, I had a meniscus repair and it’s been 9 weeks post op, my surgeon told me there was a damage to cutaneous (skin) nerve during the surgery, I get burning sensation and there is some numbness around the calf area and where the insertions were done - my surgeon told me that it recovers on its own within 6 months or so - is that correct , wanted a second opinion and what else could I do to fully recover the damage ?

[@andretate2349]

I was thinking I have a menicus tear but maybe it’s a acl? My bottom tibia shin bone turns outward and I think my hip is impinge turning inward. Causing bad KNEE VALGUS!! Patella riding too much on the inside and not in the track. I been doing your video with the 4 exercises on knees rolling inward and it’s been helping with the pain

[@physiorehab]

Perhaps get that assessed rather than guessing the diagnosis

[@zt9036]

is acl surgery different in USA? where are his scars from the surgery? also i was 6 weeks on cruches after my surgery here in Croatia and he is moving like that after 5 weeks?

[@123dakyanus]

It depends on surgery type, acl plus meniscus repair is different than acl tear alone.

[@physiorehab]

We are in Australia, not the USA

I’m at week 5 ACL reconstruction with BTB graft. And the farthest I can go is 60 degrees. My knee is incredibly stiff, and becomes more stiff the more I do. I was cleared for exercises/PT at week 2, I’m very frustrated with not being able to walk or bend at all.

[@oregonian3794]

There are various ACL recon. protocols. I will attach one of them that I like to refer to. I hope you get better soon! www.massgeneral.org/assets/mgh/pdf/orthopaedics/sports-medicine/physical-therapy/rehabilitation-protocol-for-acl.pdf

[@physiorehab]

Hope it improves! If you need a new ACL rehab program have a look at physiorehab.com

[@prashantdhy]

I am 6 weeks into rehab, almost 120+ degree flexion but I’m not able to engage my quads properly. If I try to half sqaut my knee gets a little stiff. Would you mind telling me or making a video on how to engage quads and vmo better.

[@Addassio]

How is this guy doing after two years? Was it gracilis too, or single ST tendon for graft? I got both and really afraid of the future :(

[@physiorehab]

He is doing great and playing football

[@hamedhosseini4938]

4 weeks 120 angles. Changed pt mf tried to do manual manipulation on me raw without anaesthesia. Hell no. I worked myself all the way up to 120 angles by week 4. (Havent started rehab till week 2).

[@codythebarbarian4641]

6 weeks in from hamstring graft, I have full range of motion... quad and calf exercises are strong... but I can't use my hamstrings at all... excruciating pain in my hamstring on a daily basis.. wake up in the night yelling in pain from severe cramps in hamstring... This doesn't seem normal to me???

[@physiorehab]

It needs some healing allright. If you need a good rehab program have a look at physiorehab.com

[@hamedhosseini4938]

Trade off achieving full rom that early for some pain in hamstring.
