1. Overview of ACL Injuries in the Young Athlete
This chapter will review the epidemiology, diagnosis, and clinical presentation of ACL injuries in the pediatric and adolescent athlete. Understanding how ACL injuries occur in the young athlete can provide the clinician important insights pertaining to secondary injury prevention and return-to-sport rehabilitation.
2. Clinical Movement Analysis
This chapter will improve the clinician’s assessment of movement pattern dysfunction in the young athlete during frequently performed athletic tasks. The clinician will be introduced to several standardized qualitative movement assessment tools that can be used for clinical decision-making.
3. Evidence-Based Treatment Through the Five Phases of Rehab
This chapter will introduce a task-based rehabilitation protocol for postoperative ACL reconstruction in the young athlete. Using a task-based protocol with functional testing for progression between phases will ensure that the patient is progressing appropriately through the rehabilitation process.
4. Return-to-Sport Decision-Making
This chapter will introduce a battery of return-to-sport tests to guide return-to-sport decision-making after ACL reconstruction in the young athlete. Understanding the key components to determining return-to-sport readiness is a critical component to reducing second ACL injury incidence.
5. ACL Injury Prevention
This chapter will review the key components of an effective ACL injury prevention program. Understanding the optimal design of injury-prevention programs will improve the clinician’s prescription of primary and secondary ACL injury prevention interventions.
6. Case Presentation
In this chapter, a case study will be presented and reviewed. The case presentation will facilitate critical thinking, clinical movement analysis, and return-to-sport decision-making after ACL reconstruction.
