ACL Surgery Recovery Exercise - Range of Motion Leg Extension

http://www.ACLSurgeryRecovery.net ACL Surgery recovery exercise video. The knees range of motion is important to get back quickly. Some orthopedic surgeons still lock patients knee at 0 degrees to be certain they dont lose some range of motion. This exercise can be done immediatly after surgery and helps promote a 0 degree range of motion of the injured ACL.

The key here is to make sure you are controlled when moving your leg around, there should be some discomfort but avoid any burning pain. This is the first video in a series of post ACL surgery exercises that can be performed on week number 1.

It's been a month since I had my acl completely replaced with a donor & had my meniscus fixed and I never used the crutches & I wore the brace for about 3 weeks & now I don't I walk pretty well with a slight limp but I can walk up and down stair pretty well but with some pain. Nice video

@mmckell27 this is my 4th month after acl .. i walk now .. after my injury i got a locked knee .. so i couldnt move or do pre suregery exrecises which made me lose leg muscle .. also u said u walked after one month .. but u didnt mention which surgery type u did .. if its patella autograft then thats possible to walk even after 2 weeks .. but mine is hamstring

I got ACL surgery two days ago and I can't move. It hurt way too much. I wish I had gotten the nerve block, but there's got to be something wrong, especially after seeing how well you're moving around.
