Fig 1. Biodex System 4 Isokinetic Dynamometer.
‘When can run?’, often the first any player asks, is usually a time rather than criterionbased decision at around 12-14 weeks postoperatively.
movement exceeds 50% knee range of movement sub maximal work commences.
The range of movement will need to be limited to between 90°to 40° of knee flexion to protect the graft alongside the use of the anti-shear attachment, to give maximum protection.
Close kinetic chain attachments are available on most isokinetic units allowing a low level of patient torque which is an important issue at this stage of recovery.
In regard of the non-operated leg, full range maximal isokinetics can commence once the patient has 90° of range in the ACLR knee.
Moderate Protection Phase (4-12 weeks post-surgery) In this phase, patients will continue to progress the intensity of the concentric sub maximal workload of the quadriceps (Sitting 90°40°) and hamstrings (Prone lying – Full active range).
Also, the donor graft site (hamstring or patella tendon) needs to be loaded concentrically before moving onto sub maximal eccentrics to ensure adhesion formation and scarring is kept to minimum.
Bilateral isokinetic testing at 12 weeks post operation, utilising torque with body weight data, ensures this is clinical based decision. This timeline may need to be extended if other surgery has also been necessary.
Range of movement is limited to between 90°to 40° of knee flexion, test speeds are 180° and 300° per second and the anti-shear device is used on both limbs. Familiarisation with test speeds should commence at least week before testing if isokinetics haven’t been part of first 11 weeks of rehabilitation.
It’s important to determine which data targets the non-operated leg can achieve per individual. Ideally, professional athletes should be able to achieve six out of ten parameters before progressing to the running stage of rehabilitation.
Minimum Protection Phase (12-36 weeks post-surgery) Isokinetic rehabilitation will continue with appropriate adjustments to the relative variables. Velocity Spectrum Protocols predominantly using the 180°-300° window of speeds, 1-3 bouts, 5-9 sets and 6-10 repetitions as variables,
