    Re: precautions - ruptured post cruciate ligament

    What is the condition of the popliteus and planterius? Are they binding the knee, so that he cannot completely extend it?

    Hope you find this helpful.

    Best regards,
    Neuromuscular

    Re: precautions - ruptured post cruciate ligament

    Hi,
    as I said before, the knee is fine, full range of extension and power 4/5. Although latter is a bit difficult to establish as he suffers from major ataxia.
    Wouldn't in his case an overlock of popliteus and planterius be ideal to prevent femur slippng of tibia??????
    Enlighten a neuro physio please,
    thanks,
    Fyzzio
