[Case Studies] Rehabbing an ACL rupture ...

PHYSIO NETWORK
About this episode

In this episode with Dr Kieran Richardson, we explore an interesting case study on a real patient of his - a patient who ruptured her ACL and her recovery process with non-surgical management. We cover:

  • The role and importance of knee flexion in recovery from ACL rupture
  • Bracing and weight-bearing in conservative management
  • Telehealth objective assessment
  • Education and advice during rehabilitation
  • Treatment plan and the three phases involved

This episode is closely tied to Kieran’s case study he did with us. With case studies, you can see how top clinicians manage real-world cases and apply their strategies to get better results with your patients.
