Course overview
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears are common injuries among athletes and weekend warriors injured during play and recreational activities. Each year, there are approximately 200,000 ACL injuries diagnosed in the United States. Women are more likely to be diagnosed than men with an ACL tear, and therefore, injury prevention is imperative for female athletes. ACL tears often limit an athlete¿s ability to return to sport, which is why physical therapists need to understand the mechanism of injury, surgical technique, and rehabilitation process to treat this patient population best. This course will provide information for physical therapists to better serve their patients with an ACL injury through the entire duration of care, from time of injury to return to sport following surgery, and ACL injury prevention strategies.
