A collegiate soccer player is rehabbing from a left-sided anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) and meniscus repair. He is in mid-phase 3 of his rehabilitation and performed this exercise at the end of his treatment session.
He performed the single-leg box drops and hold from a 12-inch box. Before participating in higher-level soccer training, he must improve his loading capacity and mechanics. Initially, there was a deficit in the depth of hip and knee flexion and dorsiflexion on the left side compared to his uninjured right side. With proper cueing, there was noticeable improvement, and while not 100%, he is headed in the right direction!
Effective and efficient rehab is criterion-based, not time-based.

Always consult your physician before beginning any exercise program. STOP exercising if you experience any symptoms of weakness, unsteadiness, light-headedness/dizziness, chest pain or pressure, nausea, or shortness of breath.
Performing these exercises should not cause pain. If you experience pain while exercising, decrease the speed of your movement. If the pain persists - STOP. Mild soreness after exercising may be experienced after beginning a new exercise.
