Rehab and Performance Lab Episode 17: Quad Recovery at Risk: Can You Afford to Skip NMES and Strength Testing?

Dr. Lynn Snyder-Mackler, internationally renowned researcher and clinician in knee injury rehabilitation, returns to join host Phil Plisky for an in-depth conversation on strength testing and electrical stimulation after ACL reconstruction. Together, Phil and Lynn dig into why measuring quad strength isn't just important—it's essential—and explore practical, clinic-ready solutions when isokinetic equipment isn’t available. From overcoming neuromuscular inhibition to reframing patient conversations around NMES, you’ll walk away with tools to rethink your post-op ACL approach and better track progress where it matters most.

Learning Objectives

  • Analyze the evidence supporting the use of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) and objective strength testing as essential interventions in post-operative ACL rehabilitation
  • Apply evidence-based strategies to implement NMES and strength testing methods in clinical practice to assess and improve quadriceps activation and strength
  • Evaluate patient case scenarios involving NMES and strength testing after ACL reconstruction to identify appropriate measurement tools, interpret results, and make informed rehabilitation decisions
