Knee Rehabilitation: Return to Sport After Ligament Injury (Dr. David Nolan) - Streamed Stand C14

The knee is a fundamental structure in sports, and its injury requires a careful rehabilitation program. Knowledge of the anatomy and biomechanics of the knee's stabilizing structures is essential.

In this course, led by Professor David Nolan, we will explore key concepts and the most important clinical presentations of patients following knee injuries, starting with an accurate differential diagnosis based on EBM principles.

Evidence-based evidence, diagnostic tests, and treatment will be explored within a comprehensive management framework from injury to return to sport. The course examines all knee ligament injuries—both cruciate ligaments (ACL and PCL) and collateral ligaments (MCL and LCL)—and will review post-operative rehabilitation guidelines, including progression criteria.

Furthermore, the delicate decision-making process for returning to sport is addressed, exploring useful functional tests to aid in the decision-making process, as well as presenting the most common errors made by clinicians.
