description This clinical commentary will address five key concepts that can be used by clinicians as criteria for selecting lower extremity weight bearing exercises (WBE) and non-weight bearing exercises (NWBE) employed for cruciate ligament and patellofemoral rehabilitation. The following will be discussed for both cruciate ligament and patellofemoral rehabilitation: 1) Knee loading varies between WBE and NWBE; 2) Knee loading varies with technique variations within WBE and NWBE; 3) Knee loading varies between different WBE; 4) Knee loading varies as a function of knee angle; and 5) Knee loading increases with increased knee anterior translation beyond toes.
