ACL Rehabilitation: Straight Leg Raises

Begin your rehabilitation with exercises that develop muscle control. These help you meet basic goals, like driving a car or going back to work. Exercise as often as you're advised. But stop right away if any exercise causes sharp or increasing pain. Icing your knee for 15-20 minutes after exercise can help prevent swelling and soreness.

  • Sit or lie on the floor with your injured leg straight and the other leg bent. Point the toes on your injured leg straight up.

  • Raise your injured leg a few inches off the floor.

  • Hold for 10 seconds. Repeat 5 times.

Note: Do this exercise with toes turned out to strengthen inner thigh muscles.
