 Poster: A snowHead
|
Skiing on a new knee(ACL) which is recluctant (though understandbly) to bend as much as the other side. No problem when it isn't the dominant outside leg but obvious to me when it is dominant. I suspect the issue is mental holding back/proprioception rather than physical impingement.
Suggestions?

fatbob, I don't know but I have an issue where my left leg doesn't pressure as much weakening the stability of the right turn My problem originates from a lower back issue. It might just be that the strenght in the leg you took for granted isn't there atm..and you need to address.. It could, of course be a mental block.
I will see my physio about it, what does yours say..?

Lots of alcohol?
More seriously, I like exercises where I have to exaggerate a range of movements to get a feel for what is possible. For example, skiing with legs as wide as I can manage, followed by skiing with ankles jammed together. Video feedback normally shows me that what I thought was a very wide range of movement really isn't, so I go back and try to extend that range. So maybe you could do some drills where you are skiing as compact and flexed as you can, followed by skiing upright as you can, and keep on trying to extend your range of movement. Perhaps before doing this a quick GP or physio visit to make sure you do have full range of movement with the new ACL?

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

i found one-legged skiing pretty helpful about a year post-op
amongst other things, it showed that i needed to strengthen up the injured leg a lot more

fatbob, a combination of what rob@rar and Arno said. One of my standard warm-up exercises is to ski on each leg individually alternating between as tall as possible and getting as low as possible. Carving on each foot individually really shows up any physical/psychological problems - I have to really force myself hard to get on the little toe edge of my right foot. I ski much better once I have done so though.
