Retraining Knee Control in Jumping and Landing after ACL Reconstruction Surgery

Retraining Knee Control in Jumping and Landing after ACL Reconstruction Surgery

Theo is doing well with his left knee, with improved knee control and stability with single leg straight line hop onto a box, lateral and medial hops and 90deg rotation hops. However this is his RECENT knee surgery.

His RIGHT knee is actually the problem and that is his chronic knee surgery from years ago. This side is actually stronger muscle wise but still has ingrained motor patterns in knee valgus and hip internal rotation / adduction. The knee angles into a valgus movement with a out-turned foot because of the hip internally rotating with slight adduction and the tibia externally rotating. It’s not physical tissue weakness but neuromuscular weakness.

We are giving him simple drills to help retrain the movement of keeping his knee in line over his foot when he lands. He improves a bit even in the session but this was 4 weeks ago…check out the improvements in the next reel coming up!!
