They Said Don’t Do This After ACL Surgery… But the Research Says Otherwise! | PT Pro Talk Podcast
youtube
In this video, we talk about new research showing that open chain exercises can be safely started just 4 weeks after ACL surgery. A study from France found that patients who did these exercises with light weights and full range of motion had much stronger quadriceps by 3, 6, and 12 months—without any damage to the graft. We’ll explain what the exercises looked like, how often they were done, and why this approach might help people recover faster. If you're a physical therapist or someone recovering from ACL surgery, this video gives you clear and helpful information based on real science.
