AOSSM 2022 Annual Meeting Recordings - no CME-AASPT Exchange Lecture: Updates on New Techniques for Rehabilitation

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video presentation, the speaker discusses emerging technologies and techniques in sports physical therapy. They mention four areas of focus: advances in quantitative movement analysis, telemonitoring, telehealth, and wearables in rehabilitation, the use of virtual reality, and the recent focus on neuroplasticity in musculoskeletal rehab. <br /><br />The speaker highlights the importance of objective measurement of movement in making decisions about return to sport and rehab interventions. They discuss the limitations of current criteria and the need for more accurate and reliable ways to assess movement quality. The speaker explains the spectrum of motion capture technologies, from 3D motion capture to visual inspection, and discusses the advantages and limitations of 2D motion analysis. They also discuss the potential benefits of wearables in tracking activity, improving adherence to home exercise programs, and providing feedback on exercise technique.<br /><br />Lastly, the speaker briefly discusses the use of virtual reality in sports physical therapy and the interest in exploring the effects of neuroplasticity in ACL injury rehabilitation. They emphasize the importance of further research to confirm the efficacy and utility of these emerging interventions in improving patient outcomes.
