What Athletic Qualities Do We Test (and How)? - #AMR352 Jan 02, 2025

If you want to help your athletes maximize their potential, you need to have a system to assess athletic qualities.

This is important to individualize programming and monitor progress.

We follow a few steps in our system:
1. Identify the athletic qualities needed in a sport
2. Identify an assessment to measure this quality
3. Determine the technology needed

Here are the athletic qualities we value at Champion, and how we assess them.

Our understanding of SLAP tears, or superior labral tears of the shoulder, continues to evolve.

In fact, repairing some types of SLAP tears in the wrong person could make them worse!
In this episode we talk about the difference between a “good” SLAP tear and a “bad” SLAP tear.

ACL Repair Using the BEAR Technique - #AMR341 Jul 25, 2024

The future of ACL reconstruction and repair is evolving. One of the newer techniques to try to repair the native ACL ligament rather than needing a graft is using a bridge enhancement. This is called the BEAR technique for Bridge-Enhanced ACL Repair.

This procedure has specific indications, contraindications, and rehabilitation guidelines.

In this episode, we discuss this procedure and the difference in rehabilitation between the BEAR technique and a traditional ACL reconstruction.

Baseball Pitchers with Limited External Rotation - #AMR319 May 25, 2023

We treat a lot of baseball players at Champion. And one thing is certain, throwing a baseball sure does make a lot of people lose shoulder mobility!

We often see this correlated with medial elbow pain, so when someone is rehabbing an elbow injury like Tommy John, we often focus as much on the shoulder as the elbow.

We talk about this concept and more in this episode.
