IPIM Presents: SportSpecific ACL Rehabilitation

The rehabilitation journey after ACL surgery is a long and grueling process. Despite going through rehab, individuals who have sustained an ACL injury are at a relatively higher risk for a second ACL injury (Walden 2006). Although there is no proven explanation for this phenomenon, it has been proposed that one of the reasons for this is an “incomplete or inappropriate rehabilitation” (Wilk 2015).

Kailee is an athlete who happens to be skilled at volleyball. She has been with us since the first few months after her ACL surgery. Throughout the initial weeks, the focus was on the typical milestones (i.e. knee extension ROM, quadriceps strength, normalization of gait mechanics). Understanding the importance of the glutes and risk for ACL injury, we started her on specific gluteal exercise progression early on in the rehab.

5months later, Kailee is able to perform volleyballspecific movements with great hip mechanics. Soon, she will be back on the court with the proper tools and knowledge on how to minimize her risk for reinjury and maximize her athletic potential. All it takes is motivation and dedication to a specific blueprint.

Is your rehab "complete and appropriate" to your sport and goals? If not, you may be at a higher risk for reinjury.

Be proactive, not reactive.
