Just had short convo with a college athlete here doing rehab with the sports PT clinic in our facility, recovering from PCL surgery. Hes doing ladder drills and we were talking about ankle function. Its important coaches and trainers if you have athletes on the road to recovery from knee injuries that you pay close attention to how the foot/ankle complex are functioning when they begin to execute dynamic movements again. His inability to have good ankle pop in his speed movements over time would have led to an overload on the hip flexor because the body starts to pull the leg rather then drive through the ground. Excessive hip flexor recruitment will also set the knee up for tracking issues on ground contact and improper foot/ankle movement transfer stress to the knee.... how about we not get re-injured #educateathletes #coaching #knowledge #application #excellence #shiftpt
