Running, Agility, and Sportsmetrics Training

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Return to Sport after ACL Reconstruction and Other Knee Operations

Abstract

This chapter reviews the running, agility, basic plyometric, and advanced Sportsmetrics neuromuscular training programs for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction postoperative rehabilitation. The exercises are detailed, with the criteria provided to advance the patient through training in a manner that is safe and responsive to the patient’s final activity-level goals. Our comprehensive objective assessment of muscle strength, neuromuscular function, balance, range of knee motion, and ligament stability required for release to unrestricted athletics is provided.
