Recent Advances in the Rehab of ACL Injuries Course
Recent Advances in the Rehab of ACL Injuries Course is organized by PT Seminars.
Course Description:
According to the literature, ACL rehab is struggling in returning the athlete back to play. Meta-analysis studies that reviewed over 5800 cases indicated that less than 50% of the patients returned to their sport. During this webinar, we will examine current trends and considerations for improving rehabilitation following ACL surgical repair.
This online certificate course for Physical Therapists, PTA’s, Occupational Therapists & COTA’s, is a learning module taught by on-demand streaming video. At the end of the course, there will be a quiz. Upon successful completion of the quiz, a certificate confirming completion of the Recent Advances in the Rehab of ACL Injuries Course will be issued.
