Hello,

This looks like a ligament injury. An MRI is requested.

For now, stabilize the knee in crepe bandage or knee brace. Do icing to reduce the pain. Get the MRI done. Post knowing the status of the ligament injury the exercises will be advised.

Exercise will include - core stability, hip muscle strengthening, static hamstring, static Quadriceps, ankle toe movements, and straight leg raise. Post regaining the pain-free movements of the knee, balance board training will be good to achieve maximum outcome score of the knee joint.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Jay Indravadan Patel, Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist
