[Supertraining] Re: Proprioceptive training

Hi,

Here are some more specific details regarding the knee injury.

Surgery # 1 was to trim meniscus. He was on crutches for 2 weeks

Surgery #2 was called micro fracture surgery. His was 2cm by 3cm of the medial tibial plateau. He said that the cartilage covering the tibial head had a hole in it down to the bone. The surgery was to stimulate cartilage growth by drilling into the bone. This time he was on crutches for 7 weeks. He has been released from pt but he still cannot bear weight evenly on the leg he had surgery on. He is a former collegiate football player, recreational sprinter and avid weight lifter. 45 years old 6'4 and I am guessing 225. I can get an exact weight if necessary. I would very much like to see him get back to the weight bearing exercises he enjoys if it's possible.

Hopefully this helps you and anyone else attempting to help answer my question.

Thank you

training being beneficial after an injury to a joint and would like
to learn more. Also, a friend who has recently been released from pt
has asked me to help him with a conditioning program. He recently
had knee surgery. I thought the proprioreception training would be
a nice compliment to the strength and conditioning program. Please
let me know if you need more specifics about the surgery in order to
answer my question.>>>

More specific details would be helpful.
