31. ACL Rehab w/ Erik Meira

In this episode, we sat down with Erik Meira to discuss rehab following an ACL Reconstruction (ACLR). - Why are the quads (knee extensor mechanism) important? - Why are seated leg extensions beneficial? Are they risky? How should they be implemented? - How important is movement re-education? - How useful are the hop tests? - What return to play tests should we be using? Erik is running for president of the American Academy of Sports Physical Therapy (AASPT).
