ACL Injury Prevention Exercises

A Few Quick Videos
- Did you know 200,000 ACL injury occur annually
- 70% are non-contact injuries
- Females have up to 6 times greater risk for injury
Most people have probably heard of ACL tears described as blowing out your knee, career ending, 9 months of rehab after surgery...
The Anterior Cruciate Ligament is deep inside the knee joint and helps stabilize the lower body. This ligament tears when the lower leg Tibia bone shifts too far forward from the upper thigh Femur bone.
There are numerous ACL Injury prevention programs and exercises. Key concepts are to strengthen the hamstrings and gluteus medius and a soft bent knee landing with proper squat mechanics. Together, these prevent the anterior translation of the tibia and excessive stress on the ACL.
Ben Torres, ATC is a Certified Athletic Trainer and staff writer for 90strong.com. These videos show you how to engage your hamstrings and proper mechanics using the Freestyle Starter Board.
