    Episode 14: ACL Rehabilitation | The Knee Gurus

    In this episode of The Knee Gurus we’re very lucky to be joined by ACL rehab legend, Mick Hughes.  Mick is a sport and exercise physiotherapist and founder of Learn. Physio, an online learning module for physiotherapists. Mick, along with Randall Cooper, is also a co-author of the Melbourne ACL rehabilitation guide, which was ground-breaking at the time for being the first to publish some concrete function based progression guidelines for post-operative ACL in opposed to time-based progressions. In this episode we talk about how the Melbourne ACL came to be published, and what markers we should be aiming for at various stages post-surgery. We discuss open chain V closed chain exercises and how the Melbourne ACL guide can be used post-injury, for people who decide not to have the operation and if it can be used for people coming out of the Cross Bracing Protocol. I hope you enjoy this chat with Mick Hughes.
