ACL Range of Motion Milestones
ACL range of motion milestones are flexion and extension targets that gate rehab progress—measured consistently, not guessed from feel alone.
ACL range of motion milestones are flexion and extension targets—often zero degrees extension and roughly ninety to one hundred twenty degrees flexion by set post-op weeks—that gate progression to strengthening and running. Surgeons adjust targets when meniscus repairs or additional procedures restrict early bend.
Goniometer or app measurements beat guessing. Falling short triggers mobilization, swelling control, and adherence checks—not jumping to plyometrics.
Common questions
-
What flexion is normal by six weeks after ACL surgery?
Many protocols aim for ninety to one hundred twenty degrees by six weeks, but meniscus rules and individual swelling vary. Use your written protocol, not generic charts.
