Background
Injury to the Anterior Cruciate ligament is a significantly disabling problem for the professional sportsperson and recreational athlete alike. Clear management strategies are required to return the patient to their chosen sport as quickly yet as safely as possible. Current practice is to either reconstructed or rehabilitate and cope with the ligament deficiency. Both these approaches require appropriate management in terms of exercise rehabilitation and return to sport criteria. This course aims to provide participants with strategies to both appropriately managed both the ACLR and ACLD patients and monitor treatment progress towards a successful outcome.
Course aims
- To provide participants with the necessary background knowledge to provide exercise rehabilitation to both the ACL deficient and ACL reconstructed patient.
- To provide participants with the skills necessary to assess function and performance of these patients.
