Course overview
This course offers an in-depth look at Bridge-Enhanced Anterior Cruciate Ligament Repair (BEAR) and its implications for physical therapy. As an innovative approach to ACL injury treatment, BEAR provides a regenerative alternative to traditional ACL reconstruction, eliminating the need for grafts. BEAR utilizes a collagen scaffold placed between the torn ligament ends, promoting natural healing and regeneration and preserving the ligament's proprioceptive and biomechanical functions. This course will cover the fundamental principles of BEAR, including the physiological mechanisms involved, expected outcomes, and the distinct rehabilitation protocol and considerations for patients undergoing this procedure. With a focus on evidence-based practices, this course equips physical therapists and physical therapist assistants to guide patients through recovery with techniques tailored to the unique characteristics of the BEAR approach.
