Prevent Knee Stiffness After ACL Surgery | Early Rehab Exercises (0–2 Weeks)

Early rehabilitation after ACL surgery is the key to preventing long-term issues such as knee stiffness, quadriceps weakness, and delayed recovery. In the first 0–2 weeks post-surgery, two essential goals are critical: early quadriceps activation and knee range of motion (ROM) exercises.

Quadriceps activation helps prevent muscle wasting, improves stability, and speeds up functional recovery. Without proper quad control, patients risk persistent weakness that limits walking, climbing stairs, and returning to normal activities. At the same time, knee ROM exercises are equally important—they help control swelling, restore flexibility, and prevent scar tissue formation, which otherwise leads to stiffness and pain.

With over 20 years of clinical experience, Dr. Irfan Ahmed (Consultant Physiotherapist, Horizon Hospital, Johar Town, Lahore) emphasizes the importance of starting these exercises under professional guidance right from day one. A structured, expert-led rehab plan ensures faster, stronger, and safer recovery.
