Cruciate ligament disruption
Cruciate ligament disruption is a severe injury of the knee resulting from torsional trauma. It can severely affect the neuromuscular system.
The primary goal in rehabilitation is to stabilize the knee joint to protect it from shear forces. As these gravitational forces affect the foot first, it should be the first route of approach in therapy as well. This is the only way to effectively treat the compensation mechanisms on a neuromuscular level.
When the ball of the foot rotates inward, the planter fascia comes under tension and activates the surrounding muscles. This mechanism gives our body a strong basis, which stabilizes the leg axially for moving or standing up.
During the proliferation phase (the phase of cell generation), it is important to give the regenerating cruciate ligament information to help it align its cellular structure. The inward rotation of the knee joint, accompanied by a restricted pronation (???) lets us increase the tension along the anterior cruciate ligament, which benefits cell generation and the stability of the ligament down the line.
Warning! Only conduct this exercise after consulting (or in the presence of) an experienced therapist or your doctor, as both the intensity and the duration, can vary according to your specific needs.
The rear, inner muscle chain is activated through the active inversion (adductors and ischiocrural muscles). This muscle complex serves to protect the anterior cruciate ligament, and should always be trained as a part of rehabilitation.
Balancing exercises on unstable ground benefit the central nervous system and improve reaction times. The BlackBoard allows these exercises to target specific muscles and the respective muscle chains (e.g., the tibialis anterior complex).
