On this episode I interviewed Adam Walker who is a Physiotherapist with a special interest in ACL’s and a current PhD candidate within this topic.
This episode first talks about Adam’s research into how to implement ACL rehabilitation/reconditioning programs. Instead of looking at the specifics he is looking at the process of compliance and best ways to deliver. It then talks on females and ACL injuries and then into the specifics of how he structures his ACL rehab/reconditioning sessions.
Topics discussed…
Adam’s current research on ACL compliance and barriers that prevent people from finishing the long rehab/reconditioning process.
What he suggests is the best way to implement a program from his findings.
The importance of months 6-12.
Female athletes’ ACL injuries, is it biomechanical or lack of strength and training age?
How he structures his ACL program with gym based sessions and field based sessions.
The components of his activation, plyometric, and strength gym session.
The importance of also doing field based sessions.
Main focal points of shuffling, cutting and other field based movements.
