SKI INJURY RISK REDUCTION AND RETURN TO SPORT: An Expert Panel Discussion

Part Three: Return to Sport Testing for Skiers and the progression back to the mountain

Catherine Logan MD, and Nate Lilley MPT,OCS,CSCS

KEY STRENGTH METRICS

✔️Isometric peak force limb symmetry index (LSI) - Comparing the injured/operative sides strength to the contralateral extremity.

✔️Isometric peak force Hamstring/Quad ratio- A ratio of strength comparing the hamstring and quadriceps on the same limb.

✔️Torque-to-bodyweight (TTBW) ratio- How much strength (torque) can be generated based off of an individual’s body weight and the length of the moment arm (tibia)

Strength goals:

⛷️>/ 90% quad LSI and/or >/ 3.0 Nm/kg quad TTBW for return to skiing

🎿>/60% Quad:HS Ratio

ADDITIONAL RTS TESTS FOR THE SKI ATHLETE:

✔️The single-leg vertical jump test (SLVJ) is a unilateral power and motor-control assessment used to evaluate how well one limb can produce force vertically and absorb it on landing.

✔️6 inch Single-Leg Drop Jump (SLDJ) is a test measuring reactive strength / stretch-shortening cycle efficiency. This test is great at assessing frontal and transverse plane mechanics, dynamic knee control as well as exposing asymmetries under higher-speed loading.

✔️The 40-centimeter unilateral lateral hop test is a single-limb agility, power, and frontal-plane control drill that also measures limb endurance.

Critical Appraisal of Research

We will be discussing what constitutes a good research study, as well as the daunting task of finding, analyzing and integrating good research into clinical practice. Hope to see y’all there for some great discussion.

What is CRT?
Our monthly clinical roundtable is targeted for orthopedic medical and sports medicine professionals looking for more. CRT curates up-to-date research on a variety of topics that will keep your clinical skills and reasoning sharp. You will receive relevant research to lay the foundation for our discussion on difficult clinical cases and can then apply these new concepts directly to patient care. Led by elite physical therapists, we strive to foster conversations where clinicians can bring their individual perspectives. We make the leap from research to clinical practice. Cheers to the pursuit of being less wrong!

We had a great Pop Up Dry Needling night at Runners Roost Denver! We were able to help out several of their run club members who have some big races coming up! Dry needling can be helpful to promote mobility and recovery after those long training runs. Good luck out there!
