Front knee pain is very common in the active population!

And often it is labeled as tendonitisā€¦

Most of the time it is tendinopathy and NOT tendinitis šŸ§

Here are the differences:

- Tendonitis is more acute in presentation and results in more constant discomfort

- Tendinopathy is more chronic, intermittent, and load dependent.

Do you get these questions all the time from your ACL patients? Not sure when to say yes? Do you just defer to the surgeon or their protocol?

Physical therapy school did NOT teach us this... but itā€™s the only way I decide when my ACL patients can run šŸƒšŸ¾ā€ā™‚ļøšŸ’Ø

Forget the 9-month guesswork you learned in a textbook. We donā€™t jog ā€˜til the data says so.

Comment ā€œprotocolsā€ for the full breakdown of how I get my ACL patients back to running šŸ“‹

After ACL reconstruction and meniscal repair, I see patients struggle to get their last degrees of flexion ROM.

If heels slides are not workingā€¦

If squats are not helpingā€¦

If FORCING it isnā€™t workingā€¦

Try tibial mobilizations!!

Here are a few examples of tibial mobilizations that I like to use šŸ‘ŒšŸ½

šŸ”‘For all the exercises listed patients need to be able to perform in their FULL ROM showing adequate neuromuscular control before progressingā€¼ļø

1ļøāƒ£SLR
2ļøāƒ£SAQ
3ļøāƒ£LAQ
4ļøāƒ£Isometrics - beginning at 90 degrees progressing to 60 degrees
5ļøāƒ£Loaded partial range leg extension isotonics 90 to 60 degrees
6ļøāƒ£Loaded full range double leg extension isotonics
7ļøāƒ£Loaded full range single leg extension isotonics

This progression ensures the adequate quad strength to decrease the strain on the graft and the occurrence of front knee pain.

What do you think? šŸ¤”
