Epidemiological studies show an increase in ACL injuries in young adults along with an increase in revisions. This course is designed to challenge the clinician’s reliance on protocol driven rehabilitation and focus on patient centered progressions to build rapport, improve compliance, and potentially reduce re-injury risk. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and athletic training and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA and AT.
