MCL Sprain Rehab Program | Early, Mid-, & Late Stage | Exercise Progressions

In this video we are going to  look at a couple progressive   exercise options for rehab of medial  collateral ligament injuries of the knee. Hi and welcome to Physiotutors. The MCL is the  most commonly injured ligament in the knee.   Luckily it has the greatest healing potential  of any knee ligament due to its anatomical   and biological properties. You may be familiar  with the grading system to classify MCL injuries.   Grade 1 and 2 can successfully be treated  with conservative management, possibly   including a brace in the initial rehab period,  and have a good short-term prognosis as well   as an early return to play window. Isolated  Grade 3 injuries however, characterized by   marked valgus instability, are rare and  usually treated surgically as they mostly occur   together with other injuries such as ACL tears. If you want to learn more about the epidemiology,   course and prognosis check out our online  course on orthopedic physiotherapy of the   upper and lower extremities at the link  in the video description down below.  As the MCL ensure stability against valgus moments  at the knee we are going to look at a couple   progressive exercises to build capacity  for this task. From early to late stages   of rehab.  We have linked a couple of literature  reviews in the description down below   if you want to dig a little  deeper into the research.   Again should you be looking for a concise  guide on how to assess and treat several   common orthopedic pathologies of  the upper and lower extremities,   check out our online course at the link in  the description below. There you will also   find more than 10 other extensive online  courses on various topics in physiotherapy.  Use code “youtube50” for €50 off your first  course.
