The Neuroplastic Adaptation Trident Model: A Suggested Novel Framework for ACL Rehabilitation

Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injuries are common in athletic populations and there are many factors that contribute to a return to play decision. Human movement is diverse and variable, and it is important for patients recovering from an ACL injury to develop a variety of movement strategies fo...
