Integrating Strength and Conditioning into Knee Rehabilitation
About the Program
Objectives of the Program
- Apply the principles of progressive overload, periodization, and neuromuscular control in designing evidence-based rehabilitation programs.
- Design phase-wise rehabilitation plans that progress from early injury management to return-to-performance using strength and conditioning principles.
- Modify and individualize training variables such as load, volume, intensity, and complexity based on injury stage, pain levels, and functional goals.
- Integrate injury-specific and sport-specific conditioning strategies into rehabilitation programs.
- Enhance clinical reasoning in exercise selection and progression during rehabilitatio
Expected Outcomes of the Program
- Develop and justify individualized rehabilitation programs that incorporate progressive strength and conditioning principles.
- Plan and implement structured phase-wise progression from early rehabilitation to return-to-sport or function.
- Adjust exercise prescription by appropriately modifying load, volume, and intensity in response to pain, tissue healing, and functional status.
- Apply load management strategies to reduce the risk of re-injury and promote long-term performance.
- Facilitate a safe and efficient return to sport, work, or daily activities using evidence-based conditioning approaches.
