Great question. Usually I would hesitate to throw someone right into single-leg exercises after knee surgery. I knew this player had been doing single leg work at PT already. Because people tend to shift away from their injured side during bilateral movements, I didn't want to groove poor, compensatory movement patterns. Single-leg training allows him to maximize strength gains on his "healthy" knee and to re-groove proper movement on the operative knee. At this stage of his rehab, full range of motion movement on the operative leg wasn't realistic. I had him holding on to something to "unload" some of his body weight, and only perform partial range of motion squats. Hope this makes sense! -Kevin Good to hear from you Boyks! Great question.

Kevin,
Could you tell me the rational for choosing 1 leg squats as an exercise once someone is cleared post surgery?
