In this episode, we sat down with Erik Meira to discuss rehab following an ACL Reconstruction (ACLR).

- Why are the quads (knee extensor mechanism) important?

- Why are seated leg extensions beneficial? Are they risky? How should they be implemented?

- How important is movement re-education?

- How useful are the hop tests?

- What return to play tests should we be using?
