🦵 The ACL: A Key Structure for Knee Stability
The anterior cruciate ligament, or ACL, plays an important role in controlling the knee during movements such as running, jumping, sudden changes of direction and stopping.
It helps limit excessive forward movement and rotation of the knee, contributing to overall joint stability.
Following an ACL injury, some individuals may experience:
• A feeling of instability
• The knee “giving way” during movement
• Reduced confidence during sports or daily activity
• Changes in how load is distributed across other structures of the knee
Healthy movement is not only about muscle strength. Stability, control and coordinated movement are equally important.
