OSMG and UCF Department of Physical Therapy to research
changes in knee laxity following ACL Reconstruction
Orlando Sports Medicine Group and the UCF Department of
Physical Therapy are beginning a pilot study to investigate the
relative changes in knee laxity during recovery from ACL
reconstruction.
Injuries to the Anterior Cruciate Ligament(ACL) can be devastating
and career ending for some athletes. Most estimates place the
number of ACL reconstructions at over 100,000 each year. There
are many surgical techniques available, with various graft selection
options and fixation types. Due to this variety of surgical
approaches, physical therapists need to be aware of the
challenges and precautions that each approach present. Through
our ongoing research, we hope to promote safe and effective
rehabilitation programs that return full function to each patient.
OSMG and UCF Department of Physical Therapy begin research
on physical capacity and functional mobility improvement
following total knee replacement
Osteoarthritis is a debilitating condition the diminishes the quality
of life, physical condition and health of individuals, especially as
they age. According to the CDC, OA affects 13.9% of adults aged
25 and older and 33.6% (12.4 million) of those 65+; an estimated
26.9 million US adults in 2005 up from 21 million in 1990 (believed
to be conservative estimate)(Lawrence, et. al., 2008). A total joint
replacement of the knee often helps to restore mobility and
physical function to these individuals. It is important, however, for
physical therapists to consider physical factors outside of ROM and
basic strengthening in the rehabilitation of these patients. Our
research is aimed at eventually improving overall physical
outcomes so that we can improve the ability of patients to
participate in regular physical activity and reduce the risk of other
health related co-morbidities that result due to a sedentary or non
movement lifestyle.
