NEW ORLEANS — Training athletes to prevent anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury can save money, but screening to find those at greatest risk is less worthwhile, a new study shows.
"Prevention is cheap and fairly effective," lead investigator Eric Swart, MD, a resident at New York Presbyterian Hospital in New York City, told Medscape Medical News.
The study results were presented here at the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons 2014 Annual Meeting.
....To reduce the risk for ACL injury, coaches and trainers can incorporate neuromuscular training that involves proprioception, plyometrics, balance, and technique into their warm-up programs.
