How long should vigorous exercise be avoided after a torn ligament injury?

1 week
2-3 months
6 months
1 year

The correct answer is: 2-3 months

The recommended time to avoid vigorous exercise after a torn ligament injury is typically around 2 to 3 months. This duration allows sufficient time for the ligament to heal properly, reducing the risk of re-injury or complications that could arise from returning to physical activity too soon. During this healing period, appropriate rehabilitation exercises may be advised to maintain movement in the joint and strengthen the surrounding muscles without putting excessive stress on the injured ligament. It’s crucial to follow a healthcare professional's guidance during recovery to ensure that the ligament has regained enough strength and stability before returning to vigorous sports or exercise routines.
