Advances in ACL Rehabilitation and Injury Mitigation
A Movement Based Approach
There are >250,000 ACL injuries in the US every year resulting in ~$5B health care cost (AAOSM Annual Conference 2016).
Current research indicates that only 63% return to sport (Webster et al Am J Sport Med 2019) and 1 in 4 re-injure upon return to sport “RTSport” (Wiggins et al Am J Sports Med 2016).
With reinjury rates at an all-time high, and the impact on future performance, it's no wonder that 63% of players quit within 2 years upon return to sport.
Research indicates there are movements that put an athlete at risk that can be identified during squatting motions, during single limb performance and more prevalent during cutting tasks.
Traditional ACL rehabilitation protocols are not significantly impacting these movements which is why they remain present at 9 months post op and at 2 years despite being returned to sport.
