Rehabilitation of the anterior cruciate deficient knee

Progressive rehabilitation of the anterior cruciate deficient knee requires attention to the signs of recovery or lack of it, so that the rehabilitation program can be adjusted. A close monitoring program by the physician or therapist, or both, is more effective than the introduction of complicated equipment. By dividing the rehabilitation program into segments with specific goals and responsibilities, an informed rehabilitation team (physician, therapist, patient) can progress from injury to complete neuro-musculo-skeletal re-education.
