Welcome MAC parents and gymnasts,

Thank you for participating in the Knee Training Zone, Orthopedic+Fracture Specialists' ACL injury risk and prevention program. We are implementing this program as your coaches have expressed an interest in further incorporating injury prevention strategies into the basketball program. We hope to meet several goals by implementing this program.

1) Educate parents, coaches and athletes as to the risk factors of non-contact ACL injuries.

2) Establish a baseline level of strength and biomechanic strategies for risk analysis.

3) Incorporate training strategies to address those risk factors.

4) Improve strength and biomechanic risk factors.

5) Reduce the incidence of non-contact ACL injuries.

6) Improve performance.

If you have any questions or wish to implement this program with another team please email kneezone@ofc-oregon.com

Orthopedic+Fracture Speicialists has established a dedicated sports injury hotline, 503ATHLETE, for our sports partners, to assure prompt access to a sports medicine orthopedist.
