This course is a recording of a previously hosted live webinar event. Polling and question submission features are not available for this recording. Format and structure may differ from standard MedBridge courses.
While rehabilitation professionals may understand how to address impairments early after ACL reconstruction, frequently it is challenging to integrate evidence-based practices for return to high-level function and sport, including addressing known risk factors. Higher-level exercise progressions that address speed, power, and agility are common in the later stages of rehabilitation, but many rehabilitation professionals do not fully integrate proper fundamental movement correction into this training. Better fundamental movement training foundation, combined with power, speed, and agility, provides for higher-level performance, more efficient rehabilitation, and better return-to-sport outcomes.
The goal of this course is to equip the rehabilitation professional with research-based examination techniques and interventions for the later stages of ACL reconstruction rehabilitation. Additionally, the clinician will be able to identify and mitigate known risk factors for injury as part of the rehabilitation process.

Rehabilitation providers often have difficulty implementing evidence in patient care. Patients, clients, coaches, or referral sources depend on rehabilitation providers to address tough questions regarding patient outcomes, but all providers may not be up-to-date with the current recommendations based on the literature. The goal of this course is to provide real-world application of the research in clinical practice by addressing common questions that rehabilitation professionals may have in a variety of areas.
This course will address common evidence-based practice questions to better prepare athletic trainers and other providers to educate their patients and design optimal rehabilitation programs to improve outcomes. The questions addressed in this course include
1) Does graft type influence your rehabilitation process after ACL reconstruction?
2) What factors influence the decision-making process of whether patients with a lumbar spondylolisthesis should be braced?
3) Are group-based arm care programs effective at reducing injury incidence?

ACL reconstruction rehabilitation seems straightforward, yet it is incredibly complex. With so many impairments to work on, how do you prioritize what to address and when to address it? And then how do you know the patient is ready for the next phase of rehab? How do you do this in an efficient manner under the constraints of insurance? Then, when the time comes, how do you know when your patient is ready to return to sport? This course will merge an evidence-based perspective with real-world practice experience and give you a clear rehabilitation process rather than a rigid protocol to follow. This course will give an evidence-based road map to optimize both rehabilitation and outcomes for patients who have undergone an ACL reconstruction. The course will conclude with clear return-to-sport and discharge criteria to ensure the patient is ready to go back to sport with as many risk factors removed as possible.

Nothing beats the satisfaction you feel when one of your players accomplishes a big goal, from throwing with more velocity to jumping higher over the net for the kill or being faster on the basketball court. As rehabilitation professionals, we have a tremendous opportunity to impact the performance of our athletes through rehab or specific performance-training sessions. However, despite our confidence in our expertise, high-level performance may still seem to elude us, leaving us feeling intimidated and overwhelmed.
A straightforward, systematic approach is needed to take our athletes to the next level. Learn professional sport "secrets" and how you can apply the principles in your setting.

Can they return to play? When should they stop rehabilitation? These are simple questions that we get daily in our practice. Yet, while the questions are simple, the decisions and aftermath are not. Return-to-sport and discharge decisions have a lasting impact on each patient's life. These decisions require synthesizing numerous factors and considerations. The tests to perform, passing criteria, and performance of your patient all play a role in the final decision, but the process does not stop there. It is still not always black-and-white, and even when it is, communicating the findings to your patient is not easy. This course will utilize a case study approach to take you step by step through the return-to-sport process. We need to be confident when making the decision to return to sport, and we need to be able to give our patient that same confidence and understanding. This course will take the guesswork, uncertainty, and stress out of making the return-to-sport and discharge decision. This course is part of a four-course series and can be completed as an introduction or capstone to the other three courses. This course is for physical therapists, athletic trainers, and occupational therapists.

Yet it is difficult for practitioners to market and implement a high-quality preparticipation physical examination. This course will assist the learner in conducting an evidence-based musculoskeletal preparticipation examination that will help reduce the injury risk of the athletes in their care. Specific strategies to conduct individual, team, and large group preparticipation physical examinations will be discussed. This course engages the participant through demonstrations, case studies, and a question-and-answer session with Dr. Arnold and Dr. Plisky.

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.

When can I fully return to my activity? It's a simple question with a complex answer. Could you imagine knowing how to make the return-to-activity decision confidently and concretely so the patient, parent, and physician all agree? There are so many opinions, emotions, and variables that go into return to sport and discharge that the experience seems anything but certain. Yet, it does not have to be so confusing. There is a process. There is objective data we can look at to remove the confusion, the uncertainty, and the indecision. Evidenced-based tests exist to identify these risk factors and improve your confidence when making return-to-sport and discharge decisions. This course seeks to systemize these decisions by using the latest research and the results of a 10-year, multimillion-dollar research process in injury prediction and return to activity. You can dramatically impact your patients' health and reduce reinjury rates by making evidence-based discharge and return-to-sport decisions. There is no guesswork; there is a data-driven decision. This course will lay the foundation to help you develop a scientific decision-making process, select evidence-based tests, and apply them to patient care.

Imagine if patients knew when to come into the clinic before experiencing pain or an injury. Could you imagine seeing more patients for wellness instead of just chronic pain and post-op care? What if your patients were directed to you right away at the first onset of pain, rather than waiting months? What if you had something meaningful to give patients at health fairs and community talks that actually directed the type of patients you want into your care?
Modifiable musculoskeletal risk factors have been identified in recent research studies, yet musculoskeletal health continues to rise as the number one expense for health insurance companies. It doesn't have to be this way. Musculoskeletal health care should not only be reactive to pain, but can also be proactive against it. The solution lies in empowering our patients to appreciate their own movement health and movement dysfunction. A self-movement screen that can be used by health care professionals and their patients answers this need. This program covers the background, research, and implementation strategies associated with this self-movement screen--MovePrint. This course is for the musculoskeletal health practitioner who desires to empower patients to understand movement dysfunctions so that they seek health care professionals to help them optimize their musculoskeletal health.
