Abstract

Lower leg injuries are very common injuries. Lower leg or lower extremity injuries can be but not limited to foot and ankle sprains, knee surgeries such as arthroscopies, replacements, and ligamentous injuries such as and anterior cruciate ligament rupture, hamstring strain, and hip dysfunctions or joint replacement. These injuries can hinder athletic performance or cause a decreased ability to work an occupation. These injuries tend to require various imaging to determine severity of the injury and physical therapy to rehabilitate the injury back to proper function. With the cost of such procedures, patients will try to use the least amount of these modalities as possible. The objective is to look at the foundational and functional rehabilitation program perceptions and concepts for the developments and implementation of lower extremity injuries and surgeries with minimal to no equipment. The main goal is to create a foundation for a lower leg rehabilitation protocol that can be accessible to all patients with low equipment usage. It will include alternative movement patterns to the existing protocols and limit the equipment needed.
