ACL Return-to-Sport Testing 🦵📊

Check out Dr. Alli taking her patient through quad strength testing! 💪 By using this crane scale, we’re ASSESSING, NOT GUESSING 📏✅

Quad strength testing is CRUCIAL for ACL recovery! 🦿 We can use this data to not only compare patients’ surgical leg strength to their non-surgical leg strength ⚖️, but we can also collect data on their relative strength compared to their body measurements 📊

If you’re someone recovering from an ACL injury or surgery and your PT is only strength testing by pushing on your leg 🤚➡️🦵, it is NOT enough ❌

Objective data = better decisions for your return to sport 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

🏋️‍♂️ Movement Monday 🏋️‍♀️

This week’s focus: Shovel Deadlifts 🪏

Both feet stay grounded — but loading only ONE side of the bar creates a powerful anti-rotation challenge your body has to fight against. 🔥

Why we use it in the clinic:

✅ Trains core stability & anti-rotation control
✅ Improves frontal plane strength (key for cutting & change of direction 🏃‍♂️)
✅ Builds glute & hamstring strength with an added stability demand
✅ Exposes and corrects side-to-side imbalances
✅ Enhances carryover to sport & real-world movement

Your body has to resist being pulled toward the loaded side — forcing the hips and trunk to work smarter, not just harder. 💪
