Special Friday Episode #32 of the Coach Hos Podcast. https://youtu.be/6dL3e6bWYio Today we talked with Trent Nessler, Sports PT, Movement Specialist and President of Rebound Vitality. 0-15: Introduction and background on Trent Nessler from his start with working with ACL reconstruction patients and his venture towards creating a system used to help analyze movement criteria with advanced technology. 15-30: The problem with current Return to Sport testing, the hot topic involving the lack of standardization of criteria, the issues regarding reliance on the “good side” for Limb Symmetry Index (LSI). Each athlete and each sport requires movements and stressors that act differently on each person which limits normative value data. Physical Therapists need to get more involved in the research and question current treatment approaches. 30-45: Blood Flow Restriction Training (BFRT) can help with recovery following surgical procedures and Trent explains his first hand experience with using BFR. ACL protocols drastically differ across regions of the country and lack standardization. Kinesiophobia can be reduced by introducing early on single limb training. The severity of deficits amongst the current adolescent sports population. The importance of nutrition and hydration education for performance and rehab. 45-60: The danger of fixating on “return to running”, time based criteria 50-60: How Blood Flow Restriction works and its benefits for healing, performance and improving outcomes. 60-75: Athletes that can move better are at less risk for injury and concussions. Neuroplastic changes occur following major injury such as ACL requiring neuromuscular training and less reliance on visual input to restore the sensory awareness function. How BFR can help for training and maximizing time with exercise choices. Types of BFR cuffs and parameters for compression. 75-90: Trent’s biggest obsessions and keys for success.
