To regain full knee extension after ACL reconstruction surgery, focusing on specific exercises and stretches, alongside proper rehabilitation, is crucial. Heel slides, quad sets, and hamstring stretches are particularly helpful. Gentle, controlled movement and pain management are key to safely increasing range of motion
