Advanced Rehab Concepts for Pediatric and Adolescent ACL Injuries

Course overview

Evidence-based pediatric ACL rehabilitation guidelines are limited, thus adult rehabilitation guidelines are often followed for pediatric patients despite significant differences between these populations. This course will provide clinicians with a framework for the rehabilitation of the pediatric and adolescent athlete after ACL reconstruction, including benchmark testing for progression. This course will also provide guidelines for return-to-sport decision-making and secondary injury prevention. This is an advanced course for physical therapists and athletic trainers working in the outpatient or sports facility setting.
