5. Restricted Movement

If you have torn your ACL, you won't be able to straighten the knee to its full extension. If you stand on the knee when the ACL is sprained, but not torn, you will still feel as if it might give way at any moment, and walking will be extremely difficult, and painful. Your ordinary movements will be heavily restricted, and you are likely to require some form of help to get around.
