Quick takeaways

Restoring knee flexion and extension is crucial for successful ACL rehab and prevents compensatory movements and increased stress on other joints and tissues.

Focusing on foot position and lateral hip strength during running progressions helps improve stability and efficiency.

Taking a fit-to-fast approach in ACL rehab, focusing on speed mechanics and drill progressions before starting slow running, can yield better results in developing motor control and movement patterns for sports performance.

Deep dives

Importance of Restoring Knee Flexion and Extension

The first step in ACL rehab is to restore knee flexion and extension. This is crucial because without regaining full range of motion, it will be difficult to progress through the rehab process. In addition, inadequate knee flexion can lead to compensatory movements and increased stress on other joints and tissues. Restoration of knee flexion and extension can be achieved through early mobilization and specific exercises that target these movements.
