Today’s 6-week ACL check-in ended with a patient declaring the hinge brace was ‘fighting back,’ which, is solid shoulder conditioning. What’s your funniest post-op recovery blooper that still stayed inside the plan — green TheraBand snapbacks, peas-on-knee icing for 20 minutes — because consistent, safe reps are injury prevention in disguise.
recovery blooper that still stayed inside the plan — green TheraBand snapbacks, peas-on-knee Had a 6-weeker turn the hinge brace into arm day by lifting it off the couch every time it slid — ugh, great scap work, shredded Velcro… The fix that kept it in-bounds: a cheap yoga strap looped around the thigh sleeve so the brace stayed put, plus a kitchen timer for strict 20-min peas without turning it into a slip-n-slide. If the green band keeps ambushing, I tie the same band shorter so there’s less recoil at end range without bumping resistance.
Same here — curious if others are actually seeing dates or just memos.
