Understanding ACL Injury The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a critical structure that connects the thigh bone (femur) to the shinbone (tibia) and provides stability to the knee joint. When this ligament gets damaged, it can lead to an ACL injury, which often causes pain, swelling, and instability in the knee. Understanding the intricacies of the ACL injury, its impact on the body, and how physical therapy can aid in the recovery process is crucial for effective rehabilitation.

What is Understanding ACL Injury?
An ACL injury occurs when the ligament is stretched or torn, often due to sudden changes in direction, abrupt stops, or direct impact to the knee. Sports that involve pivoting, twisting, and jumping, such as soccer, basketball, and skiing, are common settings for ACL injuries. The injury can range from mild to severe, affecting an individual's ability to perform daily activities and participate in sports.
