About the Course:
Many controversial topics exist throughout the ACL reconstruction rehabilitation process of athletes. It is imperative for athletic trainers and other sports medicine professionals to have a thorough review of the literature addressing these specific topics to allow for the opportunity to improve return to play outcomes in competitive athletes. Through lecture-based techniques, the instructor will provide an overarching review of the literature as it pertains to ACL reconstruction and rehabilitation. The participants will compare the guidelines presented within the lecture to their own current clinical practice and assess the need for change within their specific patient population.
Course Objectives:
1. Recognize the importance and need of surgical reconstruction of ACL ligament in young active population.
2. Identify similarities and differences in outcomes between autograft sources
3. Identify the different choice between autograft and allograft type.
4. Identify the need or lack of need for use of functional bracing after ACL reconstruction
5. List the benefits of implementing a neuromuscular rehabilitation plan.
6. Identify appropriate rehabilitation exercises during different stages of post-operative care.
7. Recognize the difference between functional tests, including hop test and tuck jump assessment.
