How To Manage A Knee Hyperextension Injury

Knee hyperextension injuries are common in sports. It can happen due to slipping, landing awkwardly, or because of high-speed impact. Knee hyperextension can result in knee ligament damage, bone bruising, and/or cartilage damage.

If your not careful this injury can last a very long time.

Isn’t hyperextension a good thing if you naturally have it? Because I just had an acl surgery and they said u need to achieve back hyperextension

When I when for a dunk I landed but my knee bent backwards it was very painful at the beginning and I couldn’t bend it I’d always stop at a Certain point that was painful but now it’s been 9 months and my knee isn’t back to 100 percent and my doctor and physical therapist keeps saying I should be fine when it hasn’t fully healed yet right now I can lightly jog on it without feeling pain but it still feels weak and I also can’t bend as far as my other knee do you think the only way i can fully heal is by getting surgery or should I continue to let it heal naturally

what other exercises should be done for a knee hyperextension injury ?

1-1/2 year out. When I work on regaining more hyperextension it feels as I’m loosing control/ stability during normal activities. And I’ve noticed if I stop working on hypertension I gain more stability/have less hyperextension episodes as I recently just had one playing basketball. Anybody have a clue why that would be? Should I stop trying to regain my hyperextension? I’m -3 on bad leg and -13 on good leg.

Perhaps you should have done that in the opposite direction...
You want to resist extension.
