"Neurological Consequences on ACL Injuries" features Terry Grindstaff, a researcher at Creighton University investigating the neuromuscular consequences of ACL injuries. They discuss the impact of ACL injuries on joint function, quad strength, neurocognitive changes, and altered biomechanics. The podcast also explores the use of ice, compression, and modalities like tens in physical therapy, as well as the long-term consequences of ACL injuries, such as post-traumatic osteoarthritis and changes in bone density. Grindstaff emphasizes the importance of addressing these neuromuscular consequences early on for successful recovery.
