How To Fix PCL Sprain: Early Rehab Exercises

Описание: Hey guys, welcome back to another video, and we are focusing on a PCL (Posterior cruciate ligament) sprain.

How does it happen?

The posterior cruciate ligament can tear if your shinbone is hit hard just below the knee or if you fall on a bent knee. These injuries are most common during:
Motor vehicle accidents. A "dashboard injury" occurs when the driver's or passenger's bent knee slams against the dashboard, pushing in the shinbone just below the knee and causing the posterior cruciate ligament to tear.
Contact sports. Athletes in sports such as football and soccer can tear their posterior cruciate ligament when they fall on a bent knee with their foot pointed down. The shinbone hits the ground first and it moves backwards. Being tackled when your knee is bent also can cause this injury.


Signs and symptoms of a PCL injury can include:

Pain Mild to moderate pain in the knee can cause a slight limp or difficulty walking.
Swelling. Knee swelling occurs rapidly, within hours of the injury.
Instability. Your knee might feel loose as if it's going to give way.
