Case Study 1: Knee Injury Prevention Question: A female athlete presents with knee pain. Upon assessment, you identify Ligamentous Laxity and a mechanical defect affecting the Q-angle. How would you design a prevention program for ACL injury, and what specific exercise technique should be taught to ensure proper alignment of the knee and foot?
answer: Implement Neuromuscular training to strengthen muscles and compensate for ligament laxity.
Perform Mechanical Correction by adjusting the alignment of the Pelvis and Ankle.
Train the patient on proper Squat Alignment, ensuring the knee is aligned with the foot without inward collapse (Adduction).
