Course Description:
Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) disruption leads to
complex changes in the neuromuscular system that
can affect recovery in profound ways. We know that
strength, balance, and explosive movements are
important components in ACL rehabilitation, but
what role does the brain play in our rehab process?
In this course we look to examine the neurological
and histological impact of an ACL injury and the
subsequent compensations that the brain makes
during the recovery process. After identifying these
impairments, we look to demonstrate early stage
management strategies to minimize the negative
neuroplastic changes and expedite the process
toward return to sport. After addressing acute
management, we will teach strategies for late stage
rehabilitation, utilizing open reaction, visual
disturbance, and task distraction methods that are
simple and cost effective. Through this process we
will discuss and identify preventative strategies that
can be employed from a neuroplasticity standpoint
to minimize risk of ACL injury.
