PowerTalk: Return to Sport and Performance after Knee Injury

Return to play is often touted as one of the hardest decisions in sports medicine. However, return to play is not just one decision and an athlete’s journey post-injury doesn’t end with a return to play. Most athletes in rehabilitation aim to achieve or exceed their preinjury level of performance. Return to performance may be the hardest phase of the return to sport continuum, and a phase which often gets less attention.

This PowerTalk provides a deep dive into return to performance, examining aspects which could quicken an athlete’s return to their preinjury level of performance as well as key variables needed to track an athlete’s progress. Participants will complete this webinar with both tools they can immediately implement in their practice and ideas to reexamine how they approach return to performance.

After this course participants will:

• Understand how to assess the demands of sport and build appropriate return to sport/performance criteria
• Be able to discuss why return to performance is an incredibly important but also difficult phase of rehabilitation 
• Feel confident in establishing key performance indicators and monitoring variables for their athletes in the return to performance phase
• Be able to list clinically feasible variables which will help them track/assess the progress of their athlete
• Be able to generate ideas on shortening the return to performance phase, particularly through early integration of sport specific rehabilitation and motor learning principles
