Latest Research on ACL Injuries and Rehab Outcomes
How can Technology and Mass Data Improve Clinical Practice and Outcomes in Sport & Tactical Athletes?
In this presentation, Dr. Nessler will discuss the latest research on biomechanical risk factors for non-contact ACL injuries, what movements can provide the most clinically relevant information and what lessons have been learned after collecting objective lab quality data on 90,000+ tactical and sport athletes.
Learning Objectives:
- Discuss the current research on ACL injuries.
- Understand the impact of kinesiophobia on movement and injury risk.
- Review latest research on functional testing for RTSport.
- Demonstrate how accurately and efficiently wearable sensor technology provides objective measures of movement and on the field performance.
- Review what mass data sets and trends have taught us.
- Discuss how this data can be used to provide more informed decisions for RTSport.
