Return to Sport and Performance after Knee Injury
-- Amy Arundale --
Return to play is often touted as one of the hardest decisions in sports medicine. However, return to play is not just one decision and an athlete’s journey post-injury doesn’t end with a return to play. Most athletes in rehabilitation aim to achieve or exceed their preinjury level of performance. Return to performance may be the hardest phase of the return to sport continuum, and a phase which often gets less attention.
This PowerTalk provides a deep dive into return to performance, examining aspects which could quicken an athlete’s return to their preinjury level of performance as well as key variables needed to track an athlete’s progress. Participants will complete this webinar with both tools they can immediately implement in their practice and ideas to reexamine how they approach return to performance.
