1. Course Introduction and Systemizing the Rehabilitation Process
Once a patient has progressed through the early stages of rehabilitation, it becomes essential that the rehabilitation professional have a systematic approach to rehabilitation. Simply completing challenging exercises is not enough to fully rehabilitate the athlete. This chapter will provide an evidence-based system to ensure optimal outcomes after ACL reconstruction.
2. Movement and Balance: Setting the Stage for Performance
While movement and balance exercises are frequently given to patients post ACL reconstruction, it is essential that movement and balance be tested in a manner that ensures the correct patterns are addressed and normalized. This chapter will discuss the research and practical application of movement and balance testing, with an emphasis on a neurodevelopmental perspective.
3. Advanced Strength Training
In order to fully return the athlete to sport, advanced strength and conditioning systems are necessary. This chapter will discuss these systems and programs and apply them to in-clinic care of the athlete.
4. Early Plyometrics and Return to Running
This chapter will discuss return-to-running criteria, as well as monitoring strategies to promote pain-free running. Additionally, the research and practical application of initial plyometric assessment and training will be discussed.
5. Advanced Plyometrics, Agility, and Injury Prevention
Having a comprehensive plyometrics training system allows the athlete the confidence and physical qualities to return to performing at their highest level. This chapter describes the research on plyometric training and other programs designed to reduce the rate of injury.
6. Return to Sport and Discharge
Having a rigorous, systematic return-to-sport testing process throughout the continuum of rehab that culminates in passing these tests is needed to help stem the tide of reinjury after ACL reconstruction. This chapter describes the essential components of high-quality return-to-sport and discharge testing.
7. Question and Answer Session
In this section, the authors take questions from the audience to further clarify the material presented.
