Hi
EXERCISES AFTER INJURY TO THE
ANTERIOR CRUCIATE LIGAMENT (ACL) OF THE KNEE
The First Six Weeks after Injury
Initially, the knee needs to be protected
-use the knee immobilizer and/or crutches and avoid full weight bearing.
Apply ice and an elastic wrap to control swelling. Elevate the leg and use elastic stockings if the leg is swollen.As the pain lessens and the swelling decreases, try to gradually regain knee motion. Avoid pivoting or twisting
the knee because it might be unstable and give out.Do not place a pillow under the knee for comfort. This can lead to knee stiffness.
When walking, bear weight according to the doctor’s instructions. Use crutches to assist when walking. At about three weeks following injury, the pain is usually subsiding and the swelling is lessened. You
can now try to stretch the knee to regain motion.
Stationary cycle, swimming (flutter kick only)
and the following exercise program are recommended.
