Neurological consequences of ACL injuries with Terry Grindstaff
We know that after a lower extremity injury, such as an ACL tear, joint-related symptoms often occur, such as swelling, loss of motion and instability. But as we learn more about these injuries, there also appear to be several neuromuscular consequences.
In this episode, I talk to Terry Grindstaff of Creighton University about his research into these neuromuscular sequelae after an ACL injury, and how this could impact our initial rehabilitation, return to sport progressions, and even long-term outcomes years later.
