Q

function of ACL

A

resist anterior translation of tib on femur

resist valgus
assist in screw home mechanism

17
Q

potential ACL surgery complications

A
pain/swelling
loss of ROM
laxity
nerve injury
infection
DVT
18
Q

two elements of proprioception

A

joint position sense

sense of limb movement

19
Q

what provides proprioception

A

mechaoreceptors
nociceptors
mm afferents

20
Q

t/F acl has proprioceptive properties and is a mechanical stabilizer

A

t

21
Q

whats a major factor in ACL injury / re injury risk

A

poor control of dynamic movements

22
Q

t/f deficits in uninjured leg post op has similar deficits

A

t

23
Q

goal of ACL patients

A

inc unconscious motor response
improve nervous systems optimal mm firing for stability

unlearn some movements

24
Q

if ACL left untreated what are some deficits

A

mm weakness

impaired neurological control

25
Q

how to increase demand in ACL exercises

A

add internal and external perturbation

26
Q

stages in post op ACL

A
pre op
immediate post op (1week)
early rehab (2-4)
inter rehab (4-10)
advanced activity (10-16)
Return to activity (16-22)
27
Q

do isometric hamstring exercise >60 degs endanger the graft

A

no

28
Q

which exercise results in more axial orientated forces and mm co contraction

A

closed k chain

29
Q

when is graft week

A

6-12 weeks

30
Q

goals in pre op phase

A

reduce swelling pain
ROM
mm activity
eduation

31
Q

immediate post op goals

A
extention
swelling / pain
flexion
quad control 
ind ambulating
hamstring strength to 8-%
32
Q

when should ACL have 90 deg flexion by

A

day 5

and 100 by 7

33
Q

goal of early post op

A
ext 
swelling pain
flexion
proprioception
patellar mobility
hamstring back to full
34
Q

which phase should hamstring be back to full strength

A

early post op week 2-4

35
Q

intermediate post op goals

A
ROM
LE strength
proprioception, banche, control
mm endurance
limb confidence
36
Q

is there a role for open chain quad strengthening

A

yes - more quad stretch and RTS but no difference in lax

37
Q

how to avoid undue stress on healing graft

A

limit knee rom from 90-45 deg for any NWB exercise

progress to 90-10 deg by week 12

38
Q

advanced activity phase

A
LE 
prop, balance
power , endruace
sport specific 
hop test
39
Q

where should the hop test bee by week 12

A

> 85%

40
Q

Return to activity phase

A

unrestricted in sport

progress training

41
Q

why do we care if the meniscus was repaired

A

more post op restriction

i.e. limited in ROM in WB
