Training Lab Florence treats a wide range of knee conditions, including joint wear and tear such as meniscopathy, chondropathy, and osteoarthritis, and injuries such as meniscal and ligamentous injuries.
- Injuries and Joint Wear: both operated cases that do not require full functional recovery.
- Age-Related Pathologies: in addition to reducing pain, muscle dysfunction that can worsen the condition is addressed.
- Postoperative Recovery: comprehensive approach with exercises in Kinetic Chain and Core Stability to improve the musculoskeletal system.
- “Non-Contact” Injuries in Sportsmen: global muscle structure is assessed, with emphasis on Core and Pelvic Stability to prevent future knee injuries.
How do we treat the patient undergoing ACL reconstruction surgery?
We adopt evidence-based rehabilitation protocols to ensure a quick and safe recovery after ACL reconstruction.
- Preoperative Phase: Comprehensive information on the rehabilitation protocol, including recovery of Core stability and Kinetic Chain Training.
- Neuromuscular Rehabilitation: Involves the lower limbs, focusing on full extension and flexion within the first ten days. Emphasis is placed on proper gait and starts early with loading and proprioceptive exercises
- Time Goals: Running after one month, return to sport after four months, based on reliable clinical practice results.
- Biomechanical Assessment: At the fourth month, a Kistler Footboard test is performed to assess the dynamic stability of the joint and its capacity for explosive movements and impact absorption to ensure a safe return to sport.
