Dr Lionel Chia joins Chelsea and Dan to bring his 2022 article in JOSPT, Beginning With The End In Mind: Implementing backward design to improve sports injury rehabilitation practices, to life.
Lionel outlines 4 categories to consider when planning return to sport and performance: (1) deconstructing goals, (2) determining key performance indicators, (3) assessing the challenge point, and (4) using the control-chaos continuum to guide interventions.
We work through examples of why and where to use the concept of backward design during rehabilitation.
