In this episode, we sat down with Dr. Dustin Grooms to discuss how the brain changes after an ACL injury and what can be done clinically to address these adaptations. - What are the neurophysiologic adaptations that occur after primary ACL rupture, reconstruction, and during rehabilitation? - What motor learning strategies should clinicians be using to target these changes? - What assessments should clinicians add to their return-to-sport testing criteria? - What else should we be doing to reduce the risk of primary injury? - We also discuss the use of virtual reality, strobe glasses, unstable surfaces, metronomes, dual tasking, and much more!
