ACL Rehabilitation Exercise Phase 1

Phase 1 begins immediately following surgery and focuses on regaining full extension of the knee, reducing pain and swelling, and being able to walk normally. It involves passive and active mobility exercises like knee extensions, heel slides, and ankle pumps as well as isometric strengthening exercises like quadriceps sets, hamstring sets, and straight leg raises. The goal is to restore range of motion and muscle function during the initial 0-2 week recovery period after ACL reconstruction surgery.
