Question:
ACL reconstruction open chain precautions
Answer:
Avoid resisted, OKC
between 45° to 30° to full extension for at least 6 weeks.
Question:
Avoid applying resistance to the distal tibia during quad strengthening.
ACL reconstruction closed chain precautions
Answer:
When squatting in
an upright position, knees over toes should be avoided.
Question:
Avoid closed chain strengthening of the quadriceps between 60° to 90° of knee flexion.
Why should these ACL precautions be maintained?
Answer:
Causes the
greatest anterior tibial translation and can potentially place excessive stress onto the graft.
Question:
Terrible Triad
Answer:
ACL, MCL, medial meniscus
Question:
When is the ideal time to see patient with multiple sclerosis?
Answer:
Morning
