In this episode with Laura Opstedal, we explore an interesting case study on a real patient of hers - the rehabilitation of a basketball player who sustained an ACL injury and underwent ACL reconstruction using patella tendon graft. We cover:

  • How the injury occurred & this player's previous ACL injury history
  • The rehabilitation process - including use of KPI’s and force capacity testing
  • Working through “mishaps” in rehabilitation
  • Deceleration vs acceleration exposure in ACL rehabilitation

This episode is closely tied to Laura’s case study she did with us. With case studies, you can see how top clinicians manage real-world cases and apply their strategies to get better results with your patients.
