Knee Training Zone THUSC Pre-Testing

  
 
 
 

 

Welcome THUSC parents and athletes,

Thank you for participating in The Knee Training Zone,  Orthopedic & Fracture Clinic's 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 soccer 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.

The first day of testing is Wednesday, June 25th. You will be notified when a date has been selected for the informative seminar for parents and coaches. We sincerely hope that these efforts will reduce the athletes' risk of a serious knee injury.
