Abstract
Background: In the present study we analyze the methods of postoperative recovery of knee mobility, as it is known that the most common type of trauma that can occur in skiers after practicing winter sports is the LIA. Method: We conducted a case study on an athlete, more specifically the concrete way of recovery of knee mobility as well as the psychological implications of surgery until full recovery. Results: From the data collected it appears that the knee mobility recovery program we proposed was successful, moreover there were no psychological aspects that could influence the speed of full recovery and the resumption of training at full capacity in a relatively short time. Conclusions: At the end of the recovery program, a constantly positive evolution during the treatment was observed, which meant that at the end of the treatment the subject was able to resume his sports activity, gradually integrating into the specific activity.
