Will i need to relearn how to walk after an acl surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Walk before run: Typical ACL rehab protocols allow walking starting the day of surgery. Depending on your surgeon's practice you will likely be limited by a brace in the beginning that keeps your knee straight - walking on a peg leg. When you regain strength in your quad muscle, the brace can be unlocked. At 6wk follow up, the majority of my patients are walking with relatively normal gait.
