Will be 6 weeks Post OP ACL reconstruction. I am able to get my leg fully straight while sitting and laying. But when I stand, it feels as though it won’t fully straighten as far as my other leg. How do I improve this so that I don’t walk with a slight limp? Can anyone tell me how is my knee condition right now?
no! You will get there!Extension is the most important thing to get early on in recovery. But I’d consult a pt to help you progress more quickly.
Are you walking around without crutches?
I had the same issue, I could get it completely straight 0 degrees sitting down, but walking was frustrating my PT recommended VERY carefully and slowly walking backwards to extend my leg more but I was further along than 6 weeks because I had some other stuff going on
