Table 3. Acute Phase, 0-6 Weeks, 2 visits per week.

Goal Interventions End of Phase Status
Strengthen Left Lower Extremity Musculature Clamshells and sidelying hip abduction with pillow between knees, supine bridging, hook lying hip adduction on ball – performed 2-3 sets to submaximal fatigue *posterior hip precautions observed with all exercises
  • Normalized Gait

  • Minimal to no pain at rest & with prescribed exercise

  • Improved hip strength

*Poor weight-bearing precautions adherence noted

Reduce Pain & Improve Tissue Quality IASTM¥ & STMβ to L knee flexors and L hip flexors, eccentric L knee flexion in prone
Increase Weight Bearing Tolerance & Control Weight shifts, protected leg press, partial squats overground, partial squats on tilt board, gait training with decreasing assistive device
Aerobic Conditioning Upright cycling – moderate intensity
Upper Extremity Conditioning Supervised seated upper extremity resistance exercise
