Hayashi,
Thank you for reaching out to me. I will send a reply to your private email with more details. I did not do Sho's knee rehab, so I will have to check with him on what type of graft he got.
As far as the most important thing with ACL's, I've realized that the key is early controlled ROM. If we can get athletes/patients to move, they are usually in less pain and we usually get less stiffness/arthrofibrosis. Something that I have used that has been very helpful is the AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill. (www.alter-g.com). We do have a Japanese distributor and I can tell you more in my direct email to you.
I will definitely let you know if I am in Japan. Please let me know if you come to US for any medical conferences. I would be happy to meet and talk with someone with your skill and expertise.
Jacon
