2,5h lecture
[online] Designing the rehabilitation and return to play process after ACL reconstruction in team sports
In this 2,5h online seminar, Matthew Buckthorpe gives an in-depth insight into rehabilitation after ACL injuries.
Background
Despite increased knowledge on anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury mechanisms, improved surgical techniques, improved understanding of ACL biomechanics and enhanced knowledge in rehabilitation practice, return-to-sport rates and subsequent second ACL re-injury rates after ACL reconstruction are not optimal. For optimal outcomes, there is a need to have an optimal functional recovery process based on the bio-psycho-social framework. This lecture will discuss the important rehabilitation themes to be addressed post ACL injury including (1) joint homeostasis; (2) muscle strength; (3) movement quality; (4) fitness reconditioning and (5) psycho-social factors and demonstrate how they can be restored and assessed as part of a criterion based functional recovery process, from injury through to return to play for team sport athletes.
