NPTE Exam Questions And Correct Answers
ACL reconstruction open chain precautions- ANSWER Avoid resisted, OKC between 45°
to 30° to full extension for at least 6 weeks.
Avoid resisted distal tibia when strengthening the quad
ACL reconstruction closed chain precautions- ANSWER When squatting in upright
position, knees over toes are to be avoided
Avoid closed chain quadriceps strengthening between 60° to 90° of knee flexion.
Why should these ACL precautions be preserved? - ANSWER Produces the most
anterior tibial translation and may put undue tension on the graft.
