SLR
Instructions
Begin straight leg raises with the knee immobilizer on. Start by doing these exercises while lying down.
Perform a quadriceps contraction with the leg in full extension. This "locks" the knee and prevents excessive stress on the healing ACL graft.
Keep the leg straight and lift it to about 45-60 degrees. Hold for a count of six.
Slowly lower the leg back onto the bed. Relax the muscles each time the leg touches down.
Repeat the exercise 10 times with 3 sets in a day.
Tips
- Breathe normally throughout the exercise.
- Remember to relax the muscles each time the leg touches down..
