Back injury after knee reco Posted: 04-21-08 20:39pm
Hi all.
I have a medical question, which is for an
assignment. We are given some details and
need to work out what is wrong. It is very
difficult and I have no idea where to
start! I was wondering if anybody out
there knew anything that would help me!
Here's the problem:
"Amanda is a 19yo tennis player that you
have been contracted to do some fitness
training with. She is on a long comeback
from a major ACL, MCL and meniscus injury
to the left knee whilst playing tennis 11
months ago. She is very committed to the
sport and has done heaps of closed kinetic
chain rehab on the injured leg and worked
closely with her physio to regain full
strength in her extensors and flexors
compared to baseline measures. The physio
and doctors gave her the all clear to
begin full competition 3 months ago.
Competing again, she is struggling with
back pain and has noted a breakdown in
technique with fatigue. Amanda says the
knee feels fine, her back is annoying her
however and she doesn't seem to be able to
generate the same punch in her shots as
she did before the knee op."
