Passing a criterion-based return-to-sport test — not counting months — is what prevents a second ACL tear. Athletes who return to sport before passing a 6-test scorecard have a 4× re-injury rate (Grindem et al. 2016 BJSM). Pro Physiotherapy JP Nagar delivers a 24-week week-by-week home protocol across HSR Layout, Indiranagar, Whitefield, Koramangala and JP Nagar with transparent pricing. Sessions from ₹549. detailed insurance-friendly receipt with ICD-10 S83.51 accepted for Star, HDFC ERGO, ICICI Lombard, Care Health, Aditya Birla reimbursement.
Why Week-by-Week ACL Rehab Beats Time-Based Rehab
The single most important insight in modern ACL rehabilitation: calendar time is a poor proxy for tissue readiness. Two patients operated on the same day can have wildly different quadriceps strength, single-hop symmetry, and psychological confidence at month 6. This is why the modern standard is criterion-based rehab — every phase progression is unlocked only when specific objective tests are passed, not when a certain number of weeks has elapsed.
The evidence is striking. Grindem et al. 2016 (BJSM) followed 106 ACL-reconstructed patients and found that each month's delay in return-to-sport reduced re-injury risk by 51% up to 9 months, and that athletes who passed a 6-test battery had a 4× lower re-tear rate. Every ACL programme we run in Bangalore anchors on this evidence and this scorecard.
Day-1 Home Assessment · HSR / Indiranagar / Whitefield / JP Nagar
First home visit within 24–48 hours of hospital discharge. Same-day slots across HSR Layout, Indiranagar, Whitefield, Sarjapur Road, Koramangala and JP Nagar. The 75-minute visit includes: knee flexion + extension ROM (goniometer), surgical wound + effusion assessment, quadriceps activation via manual muscle test + NMES (a critical week-1 finding), Lachman test (post-op stability), KOOS baseline, and a walker / crutch weight-bear coordination check.
We coordinate directly with your operating orthopaedic surgeon — Apollo Bannerghatta, Manipal Old Airport Road, Fortis Cunningham Road, Sakra Marathahalli, HCG, Aster CMI, Narayana Health City — and follow the exact protocol they issued at discharge. Weekly ROM + KOOS + isokinetic H:Q shared by WhatsApp. Every invoice carries ICD-10 S83.51 (ACL rupture, sequela), CPT 97110 / 97112 / 97530, clinician credentials and GST for insurance reimbursement.

7-Step Week-by-Week Home Rehab Protocol
Ice + compression + elevation, patellar mobilisations to prevent adhesions, quad-sets and terminal knee extensions, NMES twice-daily to end quadriceps shutdown. Getting flexion moving before scar tissue sets is the single biggest predictor of week-6 outcome.
Progressive weight-bear from walker → cane → unaided. Mini-squats, single-leg glute bridge, step-ups. Heel slides progress from 90° → 120° flexion. Wall-sit isometric holds build quads endurance safely without stressing the graft.
Y-balance, single-leg stance on foam disc, agility ladder patterns, single-leg RDL, forward step-down. Introduce jogging on a treadmill from week 10 if quads symmetry ≥ 80%.
Two-leg jumps → single-leg jumps → depth jumps → 90° cutting. Progressive over 4 weeks with a strict landing scorecard (knee tracking over 2nd toe, no valgus collapse).
Football-specific cutting, cricket-specific batting stance drills, running with change-of-direction. Video analysis on phone for landing mechanics feedback.
Full 6-test battery: (a) single-hop for distance ≥ 90% symmetry, (b) triple-hop ≥ 90% symmetry, (c) crossover-hop ≥ 90% symmetry, (d) 6-metre timed hop ≥ 90%, (e) isokinetic H:Q ≥ 0.60, (f) IKDC score ≥ 90. Discharge only on passing all 6.
Signed return-to-sport clearance letter co-signed by operating surgeon. FIFA F-MARC 11+ neuromuscular warm-up embedded permanently as pre-training routine to cut second-tear risk by 30–50%.
