ACL Injuries and How Physiotherapy Helps in Recovery
The Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) is a key ligament in the knee that helps stabilize the joint. ACL injuries, commonly occurring in athletes or active individuals, happen when the ligament is stretched or torn, often due to sudden movements like pivoting, jumping, or a direct blow to the knee. Symptoms of an ACL injury include pain, swelling, instability, and difficulty in movement.
How Physiotherapy Helps in Recovery:
Physiotherapy plays a crucial role in the recovery from ACL injuries by:
- Restoring Range of Motion: Targeted exercises help improve flexibility and mobility in the knee.
- Strengthening Muscles: Strengthening the muscles around the knee, particularly the quadriceps and hamstrings, helps stabilize the joint and prevent further damage.
- Improving Proprioception: Physiotherapists work on balance and coordination exercises to restore proprioception, which is the sense of the knee’s position in space.
- Reducing Swelling and Pain: Various techniques, including ice therapy, compression, and electrotherapy, are used to reduce swelling and pain.
- Rehabilitation Program: A structured rehabilitation program guides patients through different stages of healing, gradually increasing activity levels to ensure a safe return to sports or daily activities.
