Core Principles for ACL Rehab (Villena - Live Interactive Webinar)

Course overview

A rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the most common and challenging injuries in sports medicine. It comprises more than 50% of knee injuries in the United States each year often requiring surgical reconstruction and extensive long-term rehabilitation. Despite the plethora of research and new advances in training and treatment options, the incidence of ACL injuries continues to rise especially amongst young athletes. Physical therapy has been shown to be critical to both surgical and non-surgical recovery. However, ACL rehabilitation protocols vary greatly with a need for more comprehensive knowledge on rehabilitation, testing, and decision making. This dynamic course will provide attendees with an evidence-based playbook to develop successful ACL rehab programs. This course will also provide attendees with a structured framework for guidance on safe and effective return to sport and gradual return to performance.
