What is a non-negotiable for you in ACL rehab?
Quad torque testing (quad torque to body weight ration, aka quad index). BARE minimum of 3Nm/kg concentric torque and 3.9Nm/kg eccentric torque. Also going to look at hamstring torque/LSI, horizontal and vertical hops, iso mid thigh pull, counter movement jumps, drop jump to vertical jump, and 5-0-5 test. Can also add in any sport-specific drills on a case by case basis.
Why do you support THE ACL CLUB?
I think there is a huge need for athletes to have access to qualified providers that understand the ACL rehab process and how it can impact not only athletic participation, but maintaining a part of their identity. I think the ACL Club is also important in connecting athletes going through similar experiences. There is value in knowing you aren't alone.
