The latest in ACL injury prevention
The ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) is one of the 4 major ligaments of the knee and prevents excessive knee motion. Injury associated with this ligament is very common within the sporting population, especially in sports which involve pivoting and jumping (eg: basketball, football and netball).
Rehabilitation of this injury can take months, and often requires surgical intervention.
Recently at the Australian Physiotherapy Conference, Dr Greg Myer outlined a new ACL screening assessment and prevention program for adolescents. This assessment highlights potential causative factors that increase the risk of an ACL injury.
At South City Physiotherapy Centre we can now use this screening tool for clients with potential problems and aid in the prevention of ACL injuries by providing programmes for improving movement patterns and strength.
