Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are common in the world of sports. Their rehabilitation requires a comprehensive approach that combines appropriate post-surgery treatment with precise monitoring of functional recovery to optimize return to activity and prevent relapse.
This course emphasizes the importance of understanding the anatomy and biomechanics of the knee, the pathophysiology of the ACL, risk factors and the most appropriate intervention criteria according to the patient's profile. A clear and personalized roadmap is established based on the patient's functional evolution, beyond the biological recovery of the tissue.
One of the key aspects of the course will be the use of objective tests at each stage of the recovery process. These tools allow for accurate assessments of the patient's progression, ensuring safe and effective rehabilitation. When and why to perform them, as well as the interpretation of their results and how to use them to guide treatment and clinical decision-making will be covered.
In addition, a practical proposal will be offered on the sequential planning of rehabilitation, defining the optimal time for each test and the appropriate progression in each phase. As a result, physiotherapists will be able to apply a structured and evidence-based approach to optimize the patient's recovery process and return to activity.
