effectiveness of physiotherapy in the treatment of ACL injuries. The method started from a
bibliographic review, through books, personal files, websites of medicine and physiotherapy

and theoretically base the work. Articles were selected for the present study, in Portuguese and
English. The bibliographic survey was carried out with references to publications between the
years 2000 to 2017. The present study revealed the importance of Physiotherapy in the process of
rehabilitation of ACL injuries. It demonstrated that most patients respond satisfactorily, and
resistance levels can be noticed in a few cases.
