Discharge and Return to Sport Part 2: Lower Body

Course overview

If every day you could prevent someone getting hurt, would you? Whether you are working with someone with an ACL reconstruction or a simple ankle sprain, high-quality discharge and return-to-sport testing can allow you to make confident decisions as well as reduce the risk of future injury. Unfortunately, our discharge and return-to-play decisions typically are not evidence based. In Part 1 of this course series, we laid the foundation to help you develop a scientific decision-making process, select evidence-based tests, and apply them to patient care. Now, taking that knowledge, we will apply it to lower-body injuries. This course is for physical therapists, athletic trainers, and occupational therapists.
