Rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament after operation – Week 1

Rehabilitation starts with the exercises in Step 1. When the exercises can be performed without pain, rehabilitation starts on the next step.

How often and for how long should I train? Training frequency and duration are individual. Start with about 3 repetitions per workout. exercise and at least 3 times a week. Slowly increase the number of repetitions and load without exceeding the pain threshold

Do I have to do the whole program every time? No, you can divide the exercises into different days. The most important thing is to exercise regularly and gradually increase the intensity

Tidsangivelserne i minutter angiver tidsfordelingen mellem udspænding, balance og styrke, hvis du træner én time.
Om du træner f.eks. én time eller 10 minutter tilpasses dit udgangspunkt – og kan optrappes over tid.

The following exercises can only be considered as a supplement to the guidelines provided by the doctor/team, who performed the surgery. The surgical procedure may have been complicated, so specific precautions are necessary. The training should be performed every day for the first few months, but should not cause swelling or increasing pain in the knee.

Lighter sports usually first after 6 months and contact sports after 9-12 months.

Condition

None

Stretching

10 minutes of each training session

Stand up straight with your hands on your hips. Slowly sway backwards and squeeze slightly with your hands to increase the sway so that the abdominal muscles become increasingly stretched. Hold the position for 20 seconds. Relax for 20 seconds.

Stand with your training leg straight on a step/stool while bending your front body slightly forwards. Hold the stretch for 20 seconds.

Stå ved at krydse træningsbenet strakt ind bagved støttebenet samtidig med, du bøjer dig ud til siden ud over træningsbenet, så der kommer tiltagende udspænding af ydersiden af låret. Hold udspændingen i 20 sekunder. Gentag øvelse skiftevis på højre og venstre ben

Stand with your legs spread apart. One leg straight and the other slightly bent. Shift your weight to the side on the bent leg so that there is an increasing stretch on the inside of the opposite thigh. Hold the stretch for 20 seconds. Repeat the exercise on the opposite leg.

Lie on your back with your legs straight. Place a rolled up towel under your lower legs just above the heel. Press your knee against the ground and bend your ankle backwards as far as possible. Hold the pressure for a few seconds and relax both knee and ankle again.

Coordination

5 minutes of each training session

Stå på tæerne med bøjede knæ. Læg vægten frem på tåspidserne og hold  balancen. Støt i starten evt. med en hånd mod væggen.

Strength

45 minutes of each training session

Sid på stol med begge ben hvilende på en skammel. Løft det ene ben lidt over skamlen med maksimal bøjet fod og hold stilling i 10 sek. Slap af og gentag øvelsen med modsatte ben. Gentag øvelsen med skiftevis højre og venstre ben.

Lig på ryggen på gulvet med underbenet på en skammel/stol. Foden hænger frit. Vip foden op og ned og fra side til side.

Sid på gulvet med træningsbenet strakt. Pres knæet mod gulvet og løft hælen fri af gulvet og bøj fodleddet op. Hold stillingen i ca.10 sek. Der skal være spænding på lårets forside. Gentag øvelsen på modsatte ben.

Lie on the floor with your legs straight. Place a rolled up palm on the back of the knee of the training leg. The heel rests on an elevation of about 5 cm. Bend your ankle upwards as far as possible. Hold the tension for a few seconds and relax for a few seconds.

Stand up straight with your legs slightly apart. Shift your body weight onto one leg, bending the knee slightly, stretching the other leg. Then in a sliding motion, shift your weight to the opposite leg, bending it slightly while stretching the other.

Stand up straight with one leg a foot in front of the other leg. Shift your body weight onto one front leg, but keep your knee straight. Then, in a sliding motion, shift your weight to the back leg.

Switch front and back legs and repeat the exercise.

Lig på ryggen. Lad hælen på træningsbenet hvile på et glat gulv. Bøj og stræk træningsbenet, mens du holder kontakten med underlaget.
