ACL Bridge Program
Our ACL Bridge Program is for patients after ACL reconstruction or any lower-extremity injury who want to return to sport participation. The goal of this program and progression is to give athletes the sport specific drills, postural control, strength, and agility above what they may have received in the course of their post-operative physical therapy to develop confidence and decrease risk of re-injury. Each participant in the Bridge Program receives an initial assessment of our comprehensive return to sport testing, which includes strength assessment, functional movement analysis, and video gait analysis. These results are used to determine which phase of the program is appropriate for each participant.
Phase I: Basics of Movement, Strength, and Balance
Phase II: Sport Specific Movement Patterns
Phase III: Sport Specific Agility and Conditioning
