Moving on to part 6 of the ACL Injury series.

ACL Exercises (Part 6)

An injury involving the anterior cruciate ligament is a serious matter. The ACL is not adequately supplied by blood, which contains oxygen and the nutrients needed for tissue repair and healing. For this, an injury involving the ACL may take some time to heal, if at all. Over time, this can severely limit your physical activities, mobility, and independence. For severe tears, it may take 6 to 12 months (or longer) to restore knee function. Re-injury is also frequent once your ACL has been torn,  resulting in degeneration of the knee joint.

In complete ACL tears, a surgical procedure is the most likely recommendation to avoid further injury and re-injuries and to restore stability. Although the results of an ACL reconstruction are promising, the cost is financially damaging. In the United States, a reconstruction costs between $20,000 and $50,000.  An additional $3,000 is required for rehabilitation and follow up rehabilitation visits.

A neuromuscular training program is the best and most inexpensive way to prevent the occurrence and recurrence of ACL injuries. This training program consists of specialized balancing, stretching and strengthening exercises of the knee’s dynamic stabilizers, agility drills and plyometrics. These activities aim to improve knee stability on jumping, landing and pivoting. This program retrains you to use and move your body correctly, specifically the muscles and tendons surrounding the knee.

Neuromusclar training exercises are usually completed within 15 minutes. It is recommended that these exercises be included in your regular exercise regimen 2 to 3 times per week.
