Unilateral stance

null
  1. Stand in front of a counter or chair with your hands lightly resting on the counter or chair.
  2. Shift all of your weight to your injured leg, and stand only on the injured leg.
  3. Stand just on that leg for 30 to 60 seconds, then put the other foot down and rest. Repeat 8 to 12 times during the day.

If it doesn't cause problems, such as knee pain or clicking, you can make this exercise a little harder by slightly bending your injured knee and standing on just that leg.
