In this episode, we sat down with Erik Meira to discuss rehab following an ACL Reconstruction (ACLR).
- Why are the quads (knee extensor mechanism) important?
- Why are seated leg extensions beneficial? Are they risky? How should they be implemented?
- How important is movement re-education?
- How useful are the hop tests?
- What return to play tests should we be using?
