Periodization of Strength Training After ACL Reconstruction - #AMR371

One of the most essential parts of ACL rehabilitation is regaining strength in the leg. Traditionally, rehab specialists have been guilty of underloading people during the rehabilitation of these injuries. Ah, the old “3 sets of 10.” In this episode, we review a recent journal article that compares the outcomes of two different set and rep schemes during ACL rehabilitation.

Evaluation and Treatment of Low Back Pain in Weight Lifting Athletes - #AMR368

Low back pain injuries are common in athletes, and often present differently than the typical orthopedic disc-related neurogenic pain.

How to Manage Persistent Swelling After ACL Reconstruction - #AMR365

Swelling and quadriceps muscle weakness are not uncommon after ACL reconstruction, and can even persist for several months. Athletes want to get back to running and eventually their sport as fast as they can. But sometimes using time-based criteria is not optimal. In this episode, we answer a question about whether an athlete should start running 5 months after an ACL reconstruction, even though they have persistent swelling and very low quad strength compared to the other limb.

Is 9 Months the Sweet Spot After ACL Reconstruction? - #AMR364

Over the last several years, the PT community has grown more convinced that athletes should not return to sport earlier than nine months. Research reports suggested that 9 months was a magic number. But what if your patient looks amazing at 8 months? In this episode, we review a recent article that showed that athletes returning earlier than 9 months were not at more risk if they met the proper objective criteria.

Do You Need Isokinetic Testing? - #AMR362

It's important to have objective test data to safely progress patients and return them to sport after injuries like ACL reconstruction. Isokinetic testing is still the gold standard. However, the machines are large and expensive, and they are used much less frequently. We don’t even have an isokinetic machine at Champion. Here’s what we do instead.

Restoring Range of Motion After Rotator Cuff Repair - #AMR359

Restoring range of motion after a rotator cuff repair is one of the most important factors in long-term patient satisfaction. Internal rotation is especially important, as a loss of IR can really limit their functional movements. There are many variables to consider when rehabbing a rotator cuff repair patient. Several factors will alter our speed of progression. Unfortunately, protocols vary greatly. Here are our thoughts on restoring range of motion after rotator cuff repair surgery. To see...

Little League Elbow - #AMR357

Little League Elbow is a common injury in youth baseball players. Little League Elbow is a growth plate injury typically seen in baseball pitchers around the age of 13. At this age, the bone is typically the weak link, not the ligament. This is why we see more bony growth plate injuries than Tommy John injuries in youth athletes. These often take longer to heal than you think, so we don’t usually rush them. Here’s how we rehab these injuries. To see full show notes and more, head to: ht...
