ACL injury prevention
Have a look at this website and follow it through to the Sports Medicine Biodynamics Center . Tim Hewett is an excellent speaker and the research they are doing into preventing ACL injuries is very interesting and can be utilised in rehab post acl reconstruction. Worth looking at some of the links and articles on the site. We’ll try and incorporate some of the exercises he suggests in the exercise reminders on phyiotoolbox.com.

This following is a link to one of the research articles he has done , which is definately worth a read. The emphasis in his talks is on quality of the exercises described in the article particularly avoiding a dynamic valgus position on landing for example a deep squat jump or single leg hop. Any comments ?
