Understanding Ecological Dynamics in ACL Rehab
Ecological dynamics, also known as dynamic systems theory, presents movement as an emergent phenomenon influenced by the environment, task, and individual interactions. Humans are seen as nonlinear systems where small changes can lead to significant outcomes. In ACL rehabilitation, applying these concepts means focusing on interlimb and interlimb compensations during exercises like squats. Utilizing visual cues, force plates, and offset loads can help address these compensations.
