ACL Reconstruction Rehabilitation

Caden is a physical therapist who notes that a patient with a recent ACL reconstruction is reluctant to perform weight-bearing exercises. The patient expresses fear of re-injury. The MOST appropriate response to facilitate rehabilitation progress would involve: A. Encouraging the patient to ignore the fear and push through discomfort. B. Implementing graded exposure therapy and psychological support to address fear-avoidance behaviors. C. Focusing exclusively on non-weight-bearing exercises until the fear subsides. D. Increasing the intensity of weight-bearing exercises to quickly regain strength.
