Has anyone got a protocol for post-quads rupture rehab?!

[fbegg]

Trying to devise post-quads/quads tendon rupture physio protocol to get ortho consultants to agree on something for once! Has anyone got any ideas? Ta.

Hi, I'm treating my first quads tendon rupture and would really like to do a good job especially as my patient's morale isn't too high. However I will admit I'm a bit daunted and wondered if you have any tips for a smooth running, effective reeducation. Thanks (Ps french docs are pretty hard to please).

hi!! when was the surgery? its important to know in which stage of rehab the patient is! is he allowed to fully weight bear? how is ROM of Knee, hip and ankle joints? how is stability of these joints plus core stability? how long was the pat. on cruches?
there is a broad field of varity between first stage and final stage of rehab. so if you answer the previous questions i might be able to help!!
cheers

Hello Wutti, I replied to your message (for which I thank you) a while ago but it obviously didn't get through. I've got to go and see to my little one right now so will try to reply with details once again this weekend. Thank you very much.
