QUAD ACTIVATION MATTERS IN ACL RECOVERY

After ACL surgery, restoring proper quadriceps activation is one of the most important—and often most challenging—parts of rehab.

At Bax Performance and Rehab, we use standing hip extension with electrical stimulation (e-stim) to help athletes re-engage the quad while reinforcing proper lower-body mechanics. Training in an upright position allows us to activate the quad functionally, without placing unnecessary stress on the knee early in recovery.

Why this matters in ACL rehab:
• Quad activation with e-stim helps overcome post-surgical muscle inhibition
• Functional positioning reinforces posture and movement patterns used in sport
• Improved knee stability supports safer walking, running, and landing mechanics
• Progressive return to load bridges early rehab into higher-level strength training

At Bax Performance and Rehab, our sports physical therapy and orthopedic rehabilitation in Pleasanton and Livermore is built around intentional progressions so athletes don’t just recover, they return ready.

Don’t waste your time with step outs if you aren’t moving with intention

Endlessly stepping left to right with your legs straight and foot pushed out past your knee is missing the whole point.

Sit in a quarter squat (Knees bent , butt back) and drive your knee out.

That’s all that it takes to make the movement worth it! Your hips and glutes will immediately feel the difference.

The act of driving the knee out will translate over to all strength movements and can help with knee pain once your glutes get used to this stimulation.

Thinking you can take it easy right after knee surgery?

Well yes, but no.

We still need to keep the intensity as high as possible but dial it WAY back.

So post knee surgery, trying hard may be just picking your heel off the table.

But this first step is just as crucial as any squat or lunge in the rehab process.

Don’t race and skip to the fancy stuff. Dial in the intensity early and with every step along the way and you’ll be on the right track to a better rehab.

With the new place so close to being done, I thought it would be worth looking back to how far BPR has come.

Shout out to everyone who’s helped along the way.
