Nonoperative ACL Rehabilitation with Mick Hughes - Episode 16 Aug 23, 2022

When it comes to ACL injuries, there is a ton of research and information on reconstruction and injury prevention, but it seems like no one ever talks about nonoperative ACL rehabilitation.

In this episode, I'm joined by Mick Hughes to discuss his experience with nonoperative ACL rehabilitation, some of the factors that may decide who is the best candidate, and how to progress these people through the rehabilitation process.

Measuring Strength with Scot Morrison - Episode 13 Jul 12, 2022

One area of physical therapy that I think we can easily improve is our ability to measure and monitor strength as a person progresses. Most people we work with have a strength deficit as one of the primary issues we are working on improving.

So why not measure?

Manual muscle testing has limitations, and is really just a gross screen. I think we can do better quantifying force.

In this episode I talk to Scot Morrison about how clinicians can get started with measuring strength, what that really means in regard to force and torque, and some advanced concepts for those with some experience.

The Current State of Injuries in Baseball with Kevin Wilk - Episode 11 Jun 14, 2022

In this episode of The Sports Physical Therapy Podcast, I'm joined by Kevin Wilk. There probably isn't anyone else on this planet that has witness the evolution of these baseball injuries more than Kevin.

Quadriceps Strength and Biomechanics After ACL Reconstruction with Dan Cobian - Episode 5 May 03, 2022

It's well established that persistent quadriceps strength deficits are common after ACL reconstruction. Despite a lot of attention, we still continue to struggle in restoring quadriceps strength after surgery.

In this week's episode of The Sports Physical Therapy Podcast, I talk with Dan Cobian about this and his research on lower extremity neuromuscular biomechanics after knee injury and surgery.
