Abstract

Introduction: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are one of the most common and debilitating sports injuries. Strength deficits due to neuromuscular impairments are common following ACL injuries and may lead to functional deficits. Regaining of symmetrical movement following ACL injury can take longer than 9 months and may have implications for athlete rehabilitation, return to performance and risk of subsequent injury. In this case report we present biomechanical analysis of various functional movements of a 24-year-old elite gymnast who sustained an ACL rupture, extensive lateral meniscus tear and lateral femoral condyle (LFC) impaction fracture during a competition and attended AIS Intensive Rehabilitation (AISIR), a multi-disciplinary rehabilitation program.
