Re: ACL post op precautions?

Hi,

Ok, for PBL, you work it out...

1. What does the ACL do?
2. What motions tensions/increases length in the ACL?
3. What motions decrease tension/length on the ACL?
4. What muscles increase or produce those motions that tension or decrease tension on the ACL?
5. What is the operation of the ACLR involve?
6. What are the tissue healing times involved?
7. When is the graft at it's strongest points?
8. When is the graft at it's weakest points?
9. Was the injury isolated alone to the ACL? (hint - very rare) - what other considerations should there be then?
Answer these questions and suddenly your assignment is nearly done !
