You are 3x more likely to tear your ACL up to 3 years post concussion!

You are THREE times more likely to tear your ACL up to 3 years post concussion.

But why is that?

Studies have shown that athletes post concussion are more unstable when standing on one leg. Their knees are more likely to cave inwards towards their midline when landing from a jump. They have decreased pelvic stability. And what's the number one risk factor for an athlete to suffer an ACL tear? Lack of stability in single limb stance!

So what do we do now?

We treat that BEFORE we return our athletes to sport. What's that look like? Single limb training: single leg squats, single leg hops, multi directional hops, balancing on one foot, single leg depth drops. They must show they can be stable before getting back on the field or court to play.

Does having a concussion mean you will definitely tear your ACL Within 3 years?

Obviously no, but knowing the information we have now why wouldn't you want your athlete to decrease their risk for injury. The summer is a great time to do just that. Use some of that extra free time you have during the summer and focus on injury prevention this off-season!
