Once quadriceps activation is improving, we start reinforcing it through functional movement.
The sit-to-stand is a key early exercise in ACL rehab. It encourages the quads to work through range, promotes symmetrical weight-bearing, and builds confidence loading the knee in a controlled way.
This movement directly translates to everyday tasks like standing up from a chair and is an important step toward restoring normal gait and independence.
👉 Getting the quads firing early with functional exercises sets the foundation for stronger, safer progressions later in ACL rehab.
