ACL Graft Load

Description

Dr Laurie Hiemstra gives her expert insights and discusses the fundamental principles of rehabilitation exercises, emphasizing the importance of understanding the load that can be applied to an injured area during recovery. She particularly focuses on rehabilitation following ACL reconstruction, highlighting the necessity to strengthen the knee without putting excess stress on the ACL graft. Dr Hiemstra advises that while some exercises are safe during recovery, activities like plyometrics and agility drills, which involve significant loading of the graft, should be avoided until the graft has sufficiently healed.
