Amazing channel...

This is a great video, so glad I stumbled across it. I'm 2 years post ACL op (hamstring graft) and I do work on my strengthening and don't tend to have too many issues. But road cycling recently I significantly noticed the difference between my operated leg's hamstring ability to push through the pedal and extend fully, it really didn't want to comfortably be in that position and was sore afterwards. Obviously some more hamstring work needed. I really had no idea how much work would go into the hamstring rehab. Thanks for this video.

Hope you get the hamstring stronger!

Thanks for your video. Really good explanation. Hamstring weakness and inconsistent autograft thickness are the main reasons we will switch more to quadriceps tendon autografts. With the newest grafting techniques, we receive a consistent thick autograft with 20% more collagen than even BTB and not hamstring weakness or anterior knee pain.

Hello! I have done an acl + tear external meniscus surgery 6 months ago. I want to build strength and improve my flexibility in order to play sports again. I played capoeira and used to rollskate a lot. I am aware that I will not be able to do that... at least for a period of time but I want to cycle and jog. For 6 months I have done recovery ( I had days where I hadn’t ) and now I want to do a stretching program. What do you recommend? Do you do programs over video-call? If you do, I would be grateful to ask for some advices and know a price. 🌸

Hi, unsure if this comment will be seen but stumbled across the video (thank God). I've had three surgeries (hmmy graft, patella tendon and meniscus repair / clean). I seriously struggle with strength imbalance and swelling which I hope is now corrected following my last surgery. My question; when contracting my hamstring I feel my tendon pull and calf also involuntarily contracts - is this because of the development of scar tissue? Did the surgeon connect the harvested tendon site to the calf? Is this my body compensating for the initial graft? Looking to get back to strengthen the muscles around the knee as I don't want a fourth surgery (still have rotational instability) Thanks!

@@NOHAYJALE900 If you have muscle imbalances, such as weak hamstrings on the surgical side, then you might want to work on those deficiencies (hamstrings strengthening exercises) . You may be able to play sports, but if you have muscle weaknesses then other muscles are compensating for them. If those deficiencies are not addressed, then you are prone to injuries or pain in other joints, such as hip. Strengthening the hamstrings takes consistent work and long duration to get the strength equal or close to each other strength wise (over 1 year).

Hi Tim, I am 12 months into my rehab and it's going pretty good, except my hamstring is still showing the issues you talked about here - I can't lift it up to to my butt, and when I do, my hamstring contracts into a really tight ball. Running, it gets quite tight and I'm a bit afraid when I go back to basketball I'll end up straining it. Have been doing hamstring curls with BFR and nordic drops, but it's not showing much improvement. Do you have any tips for getting the strength and neural connection back? Or is it just more time/exercise needed? Cheers, Mike

@projectrts6812

How many times a week did u train on your hamstring and how long did u work on it? I would recommend you to keep doing nordic drops for strength. Also you can add double leg bridge on yoga ball for neuromuscular training. During the bridge contract the hamstring and glute as quick as possible and hold for 1 sec and during the eccentric phase you need to "hold the muscle tension" while extend your legs. Then hold for 1 sec. Advance for single leg At least 2 times /week for 4~6weeks .I think you can make a great progress.

I had to quite playing soccer, lost a significant amount of explosiveness, recently stopped sprinting as it resulted in a Grade 2 hamstring tear (on the surgically repaired limb), have a significant calf muscle bulk difference.....and on top of all of this I am experiencing anterior knee pain now when squatting and there is arthritis in the knee joint. I had the operation when I was 24 years old and had no idea how significant the change would be. I told my friend years back who needed an ACL surgery to 100% go patellar graft and he is better than he's ever been and just as good an athlete 8 years later. All the while I stay active, go the gym, maintain a healthy lifestyle and diet. But at the end of the day when they rip out those hamstring tendons in the operating room it is throwing your whole biomechanics out of wack and there's only so much you can do after.

Look it up on google and you'll see for yourself. Now if you are a patient ask yourself, wouldn't you want to go with the graft that professional athletes themselves use? Again, I reiterate you will of course discuss the options of grafts including pros and cons with your surgeon. Patients for example who have pre-existing arthritis in the knees or work as plumbers/construction workers involving significant amounts of kneeling may very well not be candidates for the patellar tendon graft.

@@physiorehab Respectfully, please read my comment. ATHLETIC individuals who embrace an active lifestyle - especially those involved in sports - should strongly consider the patellar tendon graft over the hamstring tendon graft. A simple google search will reveal in the medical literature that the gold standard ACL graft for professional athletes is the patellar tendon. Now ask yourself this - if this is what the professional athletes choose, wouldn't I want the same? Removing the critical hamstring tendons in the operating room inevitably shifts your biomechanics out of alignment and there is only so much you can do to compensate. I reiterate, discuss with your surgeon the pros and cons of each graft but also remember not all surgeons are the same. Some have vast more expertise doing one graft over another. Consequently, I advise to do your research when it comes to choosing your surgeon. Of course not every patient is a suitable candidate for a patellar graft (ie. carpenters, plumbers, patients with pre-existing painful, arthritic knees) and again this should be discussed thoroughly with your surgeon.

Hi there, if your surgery was 4 weeks ago then don’t worry you have Months to improve. The person in question didn’t follow through with the rehab properly they had ongoing issues. If you follow your rehab program all year and into 2021 then you will be ok I am sure. I have a great program if you are struggling - www.physiorehab.com/rehab-programs-acl-knee-surgery-rehab

I had my hamstring graft three weeks & one day ago, & I just started walking without crutches a few days ago. You're very early in your recovery. Remember that it takes 6-9 months to really function like a normal person again, & 9-12 to get back into contact sports.

@@Tyrosine0910 did you only have an ACL injury? If you had a meniscus or MCL injury with it, it takes longer. My strength coach injured ACL, MCL, and meniscus, and he is unlikely to play within the next 18 months. I was lucky enough to only injure my ACL. I’m a little less than 3 months out and I’ll start to jog next week. I’m going to start doing light training and sprinting preparation in one month. My physical therapist said that I could very likely be back to full sports 6 months out of the surgery. I’m pretty sure it’s because I only ruptured my ACL and nothing else. Also, I’m only 13 so the healing process is quicker.

Sorry to say it but your hamstring will probably never be the same again and you will lose alot off speed. Just being honest, I've experienced it my self. And I also have friends that can't run 10 years after surgery . Taking the hamstring tendon for ACL reconstruction is the most stupid thing there ever was.

I’m 2’ years Post ACL reconstruction MCL tear no skin graft. Trying to get Spring back in my Legs. I can barely jump 6 inches high!! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Cheers!!

Lots of rehab on all the areas you are still weak in! physiorehab.com

Can hamstring strength be fully regained after a professional therapy, hardcore workout, excellent diet and using supplements(even steroids)? Maybe even making it stronger than before? Not saying someone should, but what's the science behind it? If people can get enormously big with supplements and good genetics, then why can't a scared muscular tissue grow as well to the pre op level or more?

The problem is you removed a part of a tendon so there will always be a deficit in the bulk compared to the other side even when you get it bigger. However you can still get strengthening even if you work on individual sides

@@physiorehab Thanks for replying. But common sense would suggest, taking supplements and working more on the weak hamstring rather than healthy one would bring them to about equal levels of strength, no? I just don't get it, if the muscle can still grow, then working out like crazy and taking all the supplements that help, should make it even better than it was before, no? (Especially if that level of working out wasn't done before)

Bogdan is 5 years out after surgery and is still having hamstring issues???? I don’t understand why? I had exact same surgery using hamstring, and now I’m worried ill be in the same situation 5 years down the road Bogdan is in.

Sharad, i am in end of 5th week of my ACL surgery. & i can bend my knee more than 120 degree easily, however, with a little thrust with my hand while sitting or with cloth or towel while lying down i can achieve full flexion of my knee, this i was able to before the end of 4th week, however, towards the end of 5th week the the pain is less. So, keep on trying. The more important is knee extension, which i believe & experienced a bit difficult than flexion. Till now i have achieved more than 95%, of knee extension, but, not 100. I can walk with out the crutches with full knee extension, yes, 100%, however, at that very moment i got pain because of the rest of 4% or 5% stretch. I try to walk to properly as long as i can tolerate the pain & progressively the pain is fading, but very slow pace. So, keep working on your physio & don't stop completely a single day. Also if you have used hamstring graft instead of tendon, then your recovery would be slower from someone who have used tendon.In most of the KZread video where you are seeing very quick recovery, guess they have used tendon graft. You can easily identify the same if you see a vertical scar mark on top of their knee. Would recommend to take the help of a good physiotherapist.

In this video you say the hamstring is forever changed and it only gets back to 90% Meanwhile every scientific study I can find online says the hamstring grows back in 7 out of 10 people. I do not understand, does your physio fitness place not see the 7 out of 10? Is everyone at your place seeing weakness? I am not seeing that here in America.

Our pt has always gotten hamstring strength to equal the non operated side and there are cases right here on youtube (strangely) where the operated side tests stronger than the non-operated side. But yes, your statement about elite sport strength and tendon bulk as far as "do they report on that" is true as far as I am aware. They have not done that yet that I know of.

chris biker probably should have clarified it more in the video. What I am meaning is that he is seeing me because he has not worked on the hamstring has he hasn’t got to full strength yet. The graft does change the hamstring. We see people post op who are having problems, as they have only got to 80-90% WITHOUT the Physio and the strengthening. That is what i mean. Anything is possible and some work better than others. We work on the remaining 20% to get them performing to 100%. And yes maybe 7!out of 10 with the right rehab get to 100%. He got to 100% in the end he is one of the 7! 😁
