ACL injury is a tear or sprain of the anterior cruciate (KROO-she-ate) ligament (ACL) — one of the strong bands of tissue that help connect your thigh bone (femur) to your shinbone (tibia). ACL injuries most commonly occur during sports that involve sudden stops or changes in direction, jumping and landing — such as soccer, basketball, football and downhill skiing. Symptoms : A loud pop or a "popping" sensation in the knee Severe pain and inability to continue activity Rapid swelling Loss of range of motion A feeling of instability or "giving way" with weight bearing Causes : Suddenly slowing down and changing direction (cutting) Pivoting with your foot firmly planted Landing awkwardly from a jump Stopping suddenly Receiving a direct blow to the knee or having a collision, such as a football tackle Risk factors : There are a number of factors that increase your risk of an ACL injury, including: Being female — possibly due to differences in anatomy, muscle strength and hormonal influences Participating in certain sports, such as soccer, football, basketball, gymnastics and downhill skiing Poor conditioning Using faulty movement patterns, such as moving the knees inward during a squat Wearing footwear that doesn't fit properly Using poorly maintained sports equipment, such as ski bindings that aren't adjusted properly Playing on artificial turf Prevention : Exercises to strengthen the core — including the hips, pelvis and lower abdomen — with a goal of training athletes to avoid moving the knee inward during a squat Exercises that strengthen leg muscles, particularly hamstring exercises, to ensure an overall balance in leg muscle strength Training and exercise emphasizing proper technique and knee position when jumping and landing from jumps Training to improve technique when performing pivoting and cutting movements SUNSHINE ® SUPER SPECIALITY PHYSIOTHERAPY CLINIC - #DrParthiban #Sunshinephysioclinic.in #Physiotherapyclinicintambaram DR.M.P.
