1 ACL Protocol Patellar Tendon and Hamstring Grafts Letter from the Surgeon with operation findings Letter from the Physiotherapist introducing the rehabilitation program Pre-Operative Phase: GOALS: 1. Patient should have full understanding of the operative procedure and postoperative rehabilitation 2. No effusion, full ROM, good quadriceps/hamstrings strength. Post-Operative Phase: GOALS: 1. Physiotherapy should begin day 1 after surgery. 2. Final - Full range of motion, no effusion, and strength equal to opposite knee. Knee Rating System Sports Activity Scale: Level I - jumping, hard pivoting, cutting sports (basketball, volleyball, football, hurling gymnastics, soccer) Level II - running, twisting, turning (tennis, racquetball, handball, hockey, skiing) Level III - light recreational sports (bicycling, swimming - no running, twisting, jumping) Level IV - no sports, activities of daily living only 1
2 Physiotherapy Visit Timeline Phase Weeks Post Op Min Visits Max Visits 1 1~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Total Physician Notification The physician will be notified if the patient (1) Fails to meet the expected goals for each phase of the protocol (2) Has a persistent joint effusion (3) Develops a chronic pain syndrome (4) Develops abnormal AP displacement (5) Complains of giving-way (6) Has difficulty with walking (7) Has a limitation of knee motion or patellar mobility. These problems could result in a modification of this protocol and necessitate further visits to the physiotherapist or consultant. 2
3 Discharge Criteria: Patients will be tested using Biodex System 3. This machine tests the strength of hamstring and quadriceps muscle groups which are responsible for stabilising the knee. The data collected is used to analyse the current condition and strength of these muscles. Stage of recovery and indication for discharge is determined. Sports Activity High Level or Heavy/Very Heavy Occupational Rating No pain, swelling, giving-way Biodex strength testing: quadriceps & hamstrings strength > 90% of opposite limb Function testing: 2 hop tests (jump to distance and timed three hop jump), Limb symmetry > 90% Sports Activity Low Level (ADL) or Very light Occupational Rating No pain, swelling, giving-way Biodex strength testing: quadriceps & hamstrings strength > 80% of opposite limb Function testing: 2 hop tests, limb symmetry > 80% Return to strenuous activities after major knee ligament surgery carries the definite risk of a repeat injury or the potential of compounding the original injury. These risks cannot always be scientifically assessed. Patients are warned to return to athletic activities carefully and to avoid any activity in which pain, swelling, or a feeling of instability is present. Patients desiring to return to sports or strenuous work activities may require 4-6 more physiotherapy visits during postoperative weeks for advanced neuromuscular, strength, and activity-specific training to prevent re-injury. 3

14 INDEX Running Program: Agility and speed are extremely important aspects that all good athletes need to possess. The definition for agility is the ability to change direction rapidly while maintaining a constant velocity. Agility also includes the ability to change your center of gravity to match your moves in an efficient manor. 1. Straight Line 20m * * ¼ ½ ¾ Full pace (FP) Slalom x5 x5 x5 x5 20m 2. * * * * * ¼ ½ ¾ FP x5 x5 x5 x5 3. Figure of 8 * * ¼ ½ ¾ FP * * * x5 x5 x5 x5 * * (Start cones at 20m circles for each loop and progress to smaller sharper loops) 14
15 4. Zig Zags 10m * * * * * * * * ¼ ½ ¾ FP x5 x5 x5 x5 (Start cones at 2m apart and progress to smaller sharper spacing e.g. 0.5m) 5. Stars * 10m ¼ ½ ¾ FP * * x5 x5 x5 x5 10m * (Start cones at 10m apart and progress to smaller sharper turns e.g.5m) Points of Note: Start at ¼ pace and after each repetition take 30 seconds rest interval. The running program is designed to stress your knee in a progressive controlled manner. It is not to be used as a fitness program. You may progress to the next level once you can complete your current level at ¾ pace. 15
16 Jumping Program: Your jumping program, drills, and exercises are designed to add speed to a drill to develop an explosive, reactive movement. Speed combined with strength results in POWER! Jumping exercises are considered the link between the weight room and the playing field. There are numerous jumping drills which include: 1. Skipping for 1 minutes X 10 per session 2. Trampoline 2 legged progressing to single leg jumping 3. 2 legged jumping progressing to single leg jumping for the following: Vertical jumps Jump to distance Forward / backward jumping Spin jumps ( º) Lateral jumps over cone Depth jumps Box drills (10 reps X 2-3 sets) (10 reps X 2-3 sets) (10 reps X 2-3 sets) (10 reps X 2-3 sets) (10 reps X 2-3 sets) (10 reps X 2-3 sets) (10 reps X 2-3 sets) Points of Note: These exercises are explosive and help build power, strength and speed. The most important element when considering technique is landing. When you land from a jump, you want to land softly with your weight on the balls of your feet rolling back to your heel with a bent knee. When considering jump training the number one concern is the readiness of the athlete. The key is to be smart, start gradually and never over do it. 16
17 Weights Program: Weight training: Individual limbs where possible Knee extension Leg press Hamstring curl Squat bar / dead lifts Endurance: reps X 3-4 Sets X 55 65% of 3 repetition maximal (RM) Strength: 10 reps X 3 Sets X 65-75% of 3RM Power: 4-6 reps X 2 Sets X 80-90% of 3RM Points of Note: Overload: To see gains in endurance / strength / power you must always stimulate the muscle more than it is accustomed to. Progression: The active muscle must continue to work against a gradually increasing resistance in order to meet overload. Specificity: Gains you receive are dependent on the muscle group used, and movement pattern performed. Endurance (submaximal force that is repeated): If you are interested in gains in endurance, you should concentrate on lifting lower weights and higher repetitions. Strength: If you are interested in strength gains you want to train with higher weights and closer to your 3 RM. Power: If you are interested in power gains you want to train with weights as close to your 3 RM, concentrating on explosive, lower repetitions. Breathing: When lifting weight or working muscles against resistance, exhale through the mouth as you are performing the work. Caution: Failure to breathe correctly during heavy weight lifting may cause increases in blood pressure that may be harmful. 17
18 Balance Program: The great performers of their sport make their skills look so effortless, with such grace and rhythm. The #1 factor in this performance is BALANCE! The balance mechanisms are: Eyes Inner ear Proprioceptors With balance training the proprioceptors become more efficient as does the gyroscope type mechanism in the inner ear. Balance program: Single leg 1 minutes eyes open (tick box) Single leg 1 minutes eyes closed Biodex balance assessment using Balance Biodex system pass level 6-8 Trampoline Wobble board Dynamic stability of affected leg catching / throwing Final balance assessment using Balance Biodex system pass level
19 Stretching Program: Flexibility is the movement of body parts through a full range of motion. Range of motion is determined by flexibility but both speed and strength are greatly affected by flexibility. Flexibility is the key to success as well as preventing injuries! The importance of great flexibility in achieving ATHLETIC EXCELLENCE ranks as one of the top three areas in this all encompassing total training program. Flexibility is the biggest limiting factor in people s ability to generate power. POWER = FORCE X DISTANCE TIME The distance is determined by the individual s FLEXIBILITY! Stretching program: Calfs Hamstrings Hip flexors Quads Adductors (30 sec 1min X 2 per limb) (30 sec 1min X 2 per limb) (30 sec 1min X 2 per limb) (30 sec 1min X 2 per limb) (30 sec 1min X 2 per limb) Points of Note: By doing the stretches outlined above you can improve and maintain your range of movement, reduce post exercise soreness, reduce the risk of injury and improve your overall performance and power. Don t bounce or jerk when you stretch. Gently stretch to the point of tension and hold. Hold the stretch for a minimum of 30 seconds and progress to 1 minute holds. Breathe normally. Don t hold your breath. 19
