ACL rehabilitation requires a variety of exercises aimed at regaining knee function and strength. Rehabilitation exercises are tailored to meet the patient's specific needs. These exercises are crucial for a successful recovery. Initial exercises focus on restoring movement and reducing pain. Gentle knee flexion and extension exercises are recommended. As swelling decreases, squats and lunges are introduced to engage muscle groups. These exercises are vital for rebuilding knee strength. Knee stability training plays a key role in preventing re-injury. Balance exercises, such as standing on one leg, enhance proprioception. Progressive resistance training strengthens supporting muscles like the quadriceps and hamstrings. Functional exercises integrate real-life movements to build confidence. Step-ups and lateral movements are included to mimic sports activities. These exercises ensure the knee can handle dynamic actions.
