Скачать или смотреть Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL) Injury Rehab Exercises

Today's video covers exercises for the MCL or medial collateral ligament. The MCL is located on the inside of the knee and connects the thigh bone (femur) to one of the bones of the lower leg (tibia). This ligament can be stretched and/or torn when the knee undergoes stress that pushes the knee inward (valgus stress), which is more common in certain sports including: hockey, football and soccer. Common symptoms include pain and swelling at the inside of the knee and a potential feeling of instability with certain movements.

Rehab for a MCL tear should focus on reducing pain and swelling and regaining mobility (flexion and extension) initially and then transition to strength and movement control exercises designed to protect the medial joint line.
