ACL INJURY PREVENTION PROGRAM High-Tech, Expert Screening & Training For Competitive & Recreational Athletes
The Fitness Lab is proud to partner with Dr. Catherine Logan and her amazing team to offer a special ACL Injury Prevention Program geared towards high school and collegiate athletes.
ACL INJURY PREVENTION The medical literature has found multiple risk factors for ACL injury, which include extrinsic factors (playing surface and conditions), genetic factors (familial predisposition, collagen polymorphisms), anatomic factors (tibial slope, notch width), hormonal factors, and biomechanical/neuromuscular factors (landing and jumping techniques and strength). While some risk factors are “non-modifiable,” neuromuscular training can be employed as an effective tool in the prevention of ACL injury. The Program 3 assessments (Initial Assessment > Midpoint Retest > Final Assessment) performed by Dr. Logan and her team at 3 time points surrounding an 8-week training program at the Fitness Lab. Each assessment includes the Biomotion Analysis, Force Mat Testing and the Functional Movement Screen. Biomotion Analysis with a 2-camera sensor system, enabling calculation of joint angles during common functional movements, such as squatting and jumping. In comparison to the majority of products available on the market, our system uses no infrared technology but utilizes image-based techniques. High quality video recordings with high frame rates and high resolutions are captured and saved using synchronized industrial cameras. Force Mat Testing to assess jump and hop landing mechanics and force distribution. This tool allows us to guide assessments, improve patient outcomes and differentiate your sport-specific technique using real-time force & balance data. Functional Movement System Analysis to evaluate for strength, flexibility and movement quality deficits, as well as recognize movement patterns that support sport-specific activities. This data enables us to prescribe individualized exercise recommendations to correct the body asymmetries we know are a risk factor for injury. After this comprehensive Initial Assessment is performed, an individualized Needs Assessment is provided to the team at the The
Fitness Lab with our training recommendations. Testing is repeated at 4-weeks and 8-weeks by our team. Location: Testing is performed at OrthoONE (Centennial, CO) or at The Fitness Lab (Greenwood Village).
