Straight Leg Raise after ACL surgery

[tyson73]

We are discussing these days the effects of the straight leg raise during the first 2 weeks after an A.C.L surgery, some of our fellows think that it's harmful for the graft because of the gravity, I don't share that opinion, first the ligt needs to be stabilized and the fact that we are working in an open kinetic chain both sides of the thigh, quadriceps and hamstrings, are working in co-contraction whish 'secure' the graft against any kind of load, 2nd we had good results with the S.L.R patients, players or private, feel 'the movement in the upper leg including the hip...anyway it was a good subject that i wanted to share with you so any remarks just let me know.thx
