ACL Prevention: Programs & Results
Mike Flynn, MS ATC LAT
Purpose
• To provide a simple, common sense approach to preventing ACL and lower extremity injuries.
Intended Result
• To identify the key elements to consider when developing a program.
• To understand the components of a prevention program.
• To demonstrate how to effectively implement these components into a program.
Injury Stats
• 100,000 to 462,000 ACL injuries in the US every year!
• 85 percent of ACL injuries, regardless of gender, are non-contact!
• Higher occurrence in females!( up to 9 times more likely than males)
When Injuries Happen
• Planting & Cutting• Landing • Stops • Pivoting• Rapid Deceleration
Prevention Stats
• Bert Mandelbaum, MD, Santa Monica Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Research Foundation - PEP– Female high school soccer players
• 2000 season– 1,041 in training group, 2 ACL injuries– 1,902 in control group, 32 ACL injuries
• 2001 season– 844 in training group, 4 ACL injuries– 1,092 in control group, 35 ACL injuries
Prevention Stats
• Giuliano Cerulli, MD, Santa Maria Hospital associated with the University of Perugia in Italy – 900 high-level male soccer players over three
seasons• 600 in training group, 10 ACL injuries• 300 in control group, 70 ACL injuries
Prevention Stats
• Tim Hewett, PhD, Director of the Sports Medicine Research Institute and Human Performance Laboratory, Children’s Hospital Research Foundation in Cincinnati – Sportsmetrics, WIPP– Female athletes
• 366 in training group, 2 ACL injuries• 463 in control group, 10 ACL injuries
Prevention Stats
• Oslo Sports Trauma Research Centre, Santa Monica Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Research Foundation, and FIFA – 11+ (2008)– 1055 in the training group, 121 lower ext.
injuries– 837 in the control group, 143 lower ext.
injuries
Prevention Stats
• Swedish Football Association – female soccer players from age 12-17 (2009)
– 2085 athletes in the control group– 2479 athletes in the intervention group
• 64% reduction of ACL injury rate
Prevention Stats
• Uppsala Primary Care, Uppsala County Council – HarmoKnee (2010)– 777 in training group– 729 in control group
• 77% lower incidence of any knee injury• 90% lower incidence of non-contact injury
Prevention Stats
• Chicago Public Schools – 90 Coaches (2011)– 755 athletes in control group– 737 athletes in intervention group
• 35% reduction in overuse lower extremity injuries• 44% reduction in acute non-contact lower extremity
injuries• 34% reduction in non-contact ankle sprains
All the athletes with non-contact lower extremity injuries resulting in surgery were in the control, all ACL injuries.
Prevention Stats
• FIFA - 11+ & Male Basketball Players 11-22 yrs (2012)– 14 of 80 players in the FIFA 11+ group were injured– 17 of 40 players in the other group had injuries
Prevention StatsMeta-analysis
• 8 Studies Analyzed– At least 10 minutes of neuromuscular training,
3 times/wk– An ACL tear risk reduction of;
• 52% in female athletes• 85% in male athletes
Program Components
• Form Runs• Dynamic Flexibility• Core Strength• Balance/Proprioception• Agility• Explosive Strength• Sport-specific conditioning
Form Runs
• Skips• Carioca• High Knee• Butt Kicker• Side Shuffle• Serpentine Run• Plant & Cuts• 180’s & 360’s
Dynamic Flexibility
• Knee Hugs• Hurdle Walks• Crawling Series
– Inch Worm– Spiderman
• Lunge Series
Balance/Proprioception
• Single Leg Balance– Standing– Side to Side– Rotation
• Hop & Sticks – Double Leg– Single Leg– Multi-Directional
Agility
• Foot Ladder– Forward– Backward – Sideways
• Sprint it out to a stop!
Explosive Strength
• Plyometrics– Landing– Jump Ups– Double Leg Hops– Single Leg Hops– Bounds– Alternate Leg Box Jumps
Strength
• Core strength– Basic Core
• Bridge Series• Lunge Series
Sport-Specific Conditioning
• Make it look like the game!!
Putting It All Together!
• Form Runs• Basic Core• Balance/Proprioception• Dynamic Flexibility• Agility• Explosive Strength• Conditioning
Retention
• Program Duration Study – UNC (2012)– 140 youth soccer athletes (11 to 17)
• All participated in either a 3 month or a 9 month program
• 84 (60%) showed improved LESS scores• 3 months following the completion of the programs
only the extended duration group retained their improvements
