20.5.1.1 Phase I

The goals of first phase are to protect the postsurgical knee, restore normal knee extension, improve scar and patellar mobility, eliminate effusion (swelling) and restore leg control. Usually the brace is locked for 15 days to protect the peripherical repair as well as the non-weight-bearing period. Thereafter passive range of motion is recovered, but the ROM is restricted until at least 4 weeks after surgery. Electric stimulation is necessary to stimulate quad control and straight leg raise (SLR) with brace locked.
