Our second episode covers pre-operative and early stage rehabilitation after and ACL tear/reconstruction. We start by going into the preoperative phase speaking to evaluation, treatment, and education with a patient immediately after injury and in preparation for surgery. We then move into the management of the patient in the immediate post-operative phase (phase 1) and the early rehabilitation phase (phase 2). 

Some other special topics we cover include copers vs. non-copers, the state of the evidence in regards to open-chain exercises early after ACLR, and our ideal equipment if we had our choice when rehabbing a patient after ACLR

Look for 1-2 follow-up episodes on the mid to later stages of ACLR rehab in the future. 

Thanks for listening and as always please let us know if you have any questions, recommendations, or topics you would like us to cover!
