This patient injured her left knee resulting in tears in her anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and meniscus. For non-operative (no surgery) physical therapy for her injuries, rehabilitation focuses on improving her strength and dynamic knee stability.
This video is her first time performing dynamic stabilization exercises since her injury. The single-leg press with the red wobble board is safer for introducing this functional hip, knee, and ankle pattern compared to single-leg squatting. The challenge is for her to maintain proper leg alignment while performing the exercise.
She is wearing Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) bands while performing the single-leg press to create an anabolic environment from performing low-load and high-repetition exercises (50 pounds for three sets of 30 repetitions with 30 seconds of rest between sets). The goal is to maximize her muscular fatigue to increase the challenge of performing the exercise on an unstable surface.
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.
