Enhancing Motor Learning to Reduce ACL Injury Risk: A Critical Review (ptpodcast.com)

• ACL prevention programs often fail to reduce injury rates as expected.
• Motor learning theory emphasizes variability and error during practice.
• A paradigm shift from prescriptive exercises to adaptable skill acquisition is needed.

"This 2015 podcast critically examines ACL injury prevention programs, questioning their effectiveness and proposing motor learning theory as a framework to improve outcomes. The hosts review a Level 5 evidence article and argue that traditional prevention may need a paradigm shift towards skill acquisition and variability in practice to better reduce injury risk."
