Here is the 2nd video in the Treatment Series. This time we look at the hamstring strength loss in a patient that has had ACL surgery. First we test the hamstring clinical reported strength inner and out range resisted isometric knee flexion in Prone, then look at Power and speed loss in the single leg box jump / change directon direction - watch for the lack of height of the back leg on the hamstring kick. This needs to improve before a return to sport.
Crucial to work on all three components: 1) the repetition of the movement to improve the actually neural patterning, 2) the mobility of the knee joint to get less stiffness or resistance in knee flexion, and 3) the strength of the hamstring.
