This protocol is intended to guide clinicians through the non-operative course for ACL injuries. This protocol is time based as well as criterion based. Specific intervention should be based on the needs of the individual and should consider exam findings and clinical decision making.
Rehabilitation Protocol for Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Reconstruction. This protocol is intended to guide clinicians through the post-operative course for ACL Reconstruction. This protocol is time based (dependent on tissue healing) as well as criterion based.
The following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) non-operative guidelines were developed by HSS Rehabilitation and are divided into four phases dependent on patient presentation and level of irritability. These guidelines focus on partial and complete ligament ruptures.
This protocol is intended to guide clinicians through non-operative management of lateral ankle sprain. This protocol is time based (dependent on tissue healing) as well as criterion based.
Introduction. The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a key structure in the knee joint kinematics, as it resists anterior tibial translation and rotational loads. The ACL provides approximately 85% of the total restraining force of anterior translation.
Page 1. Recovering from a torn ACL is not an easy process. It can be a long and difficult recovery that requires a tremendous commitment to rehabilitation. You must be an active participant during this process, performing daily exercises to ensure the return of your range of motion and strength.
IMMEDIATE INJURY PHASE (Day 1 to Day 7) Goals: Restore full passive knee extension Diminish joint swelling and pain Restore patellar mobility Gradually improve knee flexion Re-establish quadriceps control Restore independent ambulation. Post-Injury Day 1- 3.
If you've had an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, your healthcare provider may recommend rehabilitation exercises to help improve your knee health. An ACL injury is often caused by overstretching or tearing this ligament in the middle of the knee.
Rehabilitation. Medical treatment for an ACL injury begins with several weeks of rehabilitative therapy. A physical therapist will teach you exercises that you will perform either with continued supervision or at home.
The intent of this protocol is to provide the clinician with a guideline of the post-operative rehabilitation course of a patient that has undergone an Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Reconstruction.
