Platinum Learning Series - ACL Rehabilitation Part Platinum Learning Series - ACL Rehabilitation Part 2 

✅ Once an appropriate amount of strength is restored within the lower limb musculature, particularly in the quadriceps/hamstrings/gluteals; rehabilitation is directed towards return to activity/sport. 

⚠️ This includes developing and improving:
-plyometric ability
-balance & proprioception
-skill based activities

💡Slide 1 & 2: Anteriolateral bounding - Focusing on even bound length anteriorly/laterally, and effective in introducing bounding into the lateral plane of motion. 
💡 Slide 3: Single leg forward hopping (lateral view) - The lateral view is useful for analyzing hip on knee strategies, especially post ACL where it is common to see a 'stiff knee' upon landing, as a result of not wanting to weight bear through the ipislateral knee.
💡 Slide 4: Drop jump and double leg stick/landing - Focusing on double leg plyometric, utilizing the stretch shorten cycle and into sticking a landing; especially ensuring optimal hip/knee alignment in valgus prevention.
💡 Slide 5: Single leg land & stick - Effective in building confidence in single leg landing off a low step, where patient can work on hip/knee strategies and consciously focus on preventing knee valgus/tibial internal rotation upon landing.
💡Slide 6: Dual task; Single leg stance on uneven surface/chi ball throw - Incorporating multiple focal points in exercise to challenge simultaneous lower body balance, as well as upper limb coordination.

— Platinum Learning Series - ACL Rehabilitation Pa — Platinum Learning Series - ACL Rehabilitation Part 1 —

⚠️ The Anterior Cruciate Ligament/ACL for short, is one of the four major ligaments which help to control and stabilize the knee. It is commonly injured in unexpected landing/twisting movements, resulting in partial/complete tears which cause instability within the knee. This may require surgical management, but is not the case for everyone, depending on severity of injury.

💡 It is recommended to only return to sport at a minimum of 12 months after injury, to minimize recurrence rates - in which the rehabilitation process consists of extensive phased symptomatic control, functional restoration, strengthening, plyometric and return to sport exercises.

Quad dominant strengthening exercises:
⭐️ Slide 1: Double leg barbell back squat - focused on building general strength/torque through bilateral lower limb.
⭐️ Slide 2: Single leg dumbbell sit-to-stand - focused on proper knee/hip alignment, and even production of force compared to unaffected limb
⭐️ Slide 3: Single leg sit-to-stand with isometric hip abduction - focused on engaging hip abductors throughout entire movement, beneficial especially for preventing knee valgus/tibial internal rotation
⭐️ Slide 4: Assisted reverse nordic - effective quadricep isolation exercise to help with strength through middle to end range knee flexion, also involves core in movement
⭐️ Slide 5: Knee extension - No better exercise to target the quadricep, to be done throughout most of the rehabilitation process

💡Did you know that every day, 37 people in Austral 💡Did you know that every day, 37 people in Australia are diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease?

🚶🏽‍♂️While there is no known cause for Parkinson’s, it is thought to be a combination of aging, genetics, infections and environmental factors. PD causes a reduction in dopamine, a powerful brain chemical that is important for coordinating movements. 

🏋🏽Exercise in Parkinson’s can help to reduce symptoms, slow the progression of the disease, decrease anxiety, stress and depression and reduce the risk of falls and injury. We run Parkinson’s group exercise sessions at both the Brighton and Windsor clinics specifically designed to help those with Parkinson’s Disease. 

🔬Research is still ongoing and there is every hope that outcomes for people with Parkinson’s will continue to improve and that ultimately there will be a cure!
