How to Prevent ACL Tear
The most effective way to prevent an ACL tear is to exercise and train properly. It is advisable to seek advice from a professional physical therapist or personal trainer to reduce the risk. There are some training programs that can serve as preventive measures. These include exercises to improve the strength of your core (lower abdomen, pelvis, and hips), leg muscles, and exercises to improve your cutting and pivoting movements.
You should also consider wearing padding or footwear to protect your knee when playing sports or doing physical activities. Keep in mind that putting on a knee brace does not actually reduce the risk of recurring injury once you have gone through knee surgery before. [8]
