In this episode, we sat down with Dr. Dustin Grooms to discuss how the brain changes after an ACL injury and what can be done clinically to address these adaptations. - What are the neurophysiologic adaptations that occur after primary ACL rupture, reconstruction, and during rehabilitation? - What motor learning strategies should clinicians be using to target these changes? - What assessments should clinicians add to their return-to-sport testing criteria? - What else should we be doing to reduce the risk of primary injury? - We also discuss the use of virtual reality, strobe glasses, unstable surfaces, metronomes, dual tasking, and much more!   More about Dr. Dustin Grooms: Twitter: https://twitter.com/dusty_grooms  Website: https://www.ohio.edu/chsp/groomsd  Research Gate: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Dustin-Grooms    Relevant research (not all inclusive): https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31408765/  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31901699/  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33873089/  https://www.researchgate.net/publication/344980912_Clinical_Applications_of_Motor_Learning_Strategies  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33842051/  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30719683/  https://www.researchgate.net/publication/328946995_The_Development_and_Reliability_of_Four_Clinical_Neurocognitive_Single-leg_Hop_Tests_Implications_for_Return_to_Activity_Decision_Making    More about us: Website: https://e3rehab.com/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/e3rehab/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/E3Rehab    This episode was produced by Matt Hunter.
