Treating Sick Muscles After ACL Injury: Translating the Science Into the Clinic
By Lindsey Lepley, PhD, ATC
The course aims to develop a rehabilitation protocol that directly targets insufficiencies in neural activity and muscle morphology after anterior cruciate ligament injury. It summarizes how mechanically engaging muscle is beneficial to targeting adaptations in muscle size and composition. It also helps attendees understand the time course of muscle dysfunction after injury so that the timing of the intervention is the most effective.
Beyond Performance: Motor Imagery in Clinical Diagnosis, Intervention and Injury Prevention
By Jody “J.C.” Andersen, PhD, PT, ATC
This course aims to identify the components of a graded approach to motor imagery in patients with musculoskeletal injury and for injury prevention. It illustrates the underlying neurobiological foundations of this approach. It also outlines the application of motor imagery as a component of injury prevention and therapeutic intervention programs. Intervention strategies using a graded approach to motor imagery will also be identified.
