RepostBy @wesleywang.dpt: "ACL Rehab - Knee Extension ——- One of the foundational components of ACL rehab is getting full active extension back. NO EXCEPTIONS. I can not tell you how frustrating it is when someone comes to see me 5-6 months out from surgery and still don’t have full extension. I personally really push my patients to work on it frequently and I want them to be very close to full range by 6-8 weeks. I emphasize spending more time on regaining full extension and waiting on strengthening because if the knee can’t fully extend, they will have a hard time getting full quad strength back. ——- There are many exercises I give for extension and here is one of them. My goal is to find a couple that the patient likes to create buy in. I want them to be comfortable with the exercise and actually perform them at home. 1️⃣ Sled Push Banded TKE - I use the sled for active extension as I cue them to push through the ground to straighten the knee. The added band (thanks @nicoleclark19) serves as an external cue to push against the band into extension. #WesleyTalksACLs ——- 🙌🏼Tag someone who could use these exercises! 👍 Like and save if you found it helpful! 🤷🏼‍♂️ Post questions or comments below!👇" ̐ #physio #movement #rehab #strengthandconditioning #painmanagement #sportsperformance #pain #posture #stretching #prehab #bodyhack #bodyhackuae #gymnastics #athlete #physiology #motivation #stretching #athlete #chiropractic #training #motivation #flexibility #physiology #sport #strength #strengthconditioning #neurology #mobility #mobilidade #aclrecovery
