INSIGHT

ACL Injuries Linked to Stability Failure

  • Cal Dietz identifies ACL non-contact injuries primarily as a double system stability failure in two key sling systems.
  • A displaced cuboid or talus bone can deactivate these slings, leading to instability from foot to shoulder.
ANECDOTE

Olympian's Sling System Discovery

  • Cal observed an Olympian's muscle connectivity from shoulder to foot revealed through post-surgery muscle testing.
  • Resetting one muscle in the chain activated all related muscles, highlighting the interconnected sling system.
ADVICE

Quick Muscle Testing Post-Injury

  • Quickly test an athlete's leg muscles after injuries using two simple tests to ensure stability systems are turned on during play.
  • Use a massage gun on indicated spots to re-activate muscles and reduce injury risks mid-game.
