Megan Graham, a physical therapist and PhD candidate at the University of Kentucky, shares her insights on ACL rehabilitation. She discusses muscle atrophy, the use of E-stim technology, and the evolution of late-stage rehab practices. Highlighting the challenges in balancing patient safety and effort, she emphasizes individualized programs post-surgery. Megan also explores unique recovery strategies like blood flow restriction training and the importance of personalized metrics to lower re-injury risks for athletes returning to sports.

Megan Graham, DPT and ACL rehab researcher and professor, discusses her study on split squat compensations after ACL reconstruction. She covers intralimb hip-dominant strategies, how reduced dorsiflexion and trunk position alter knee demand, and interlimb weight shifts to the rear leg. Practical cues, constraint strategies, and progressions for targeting the quads are explored.
