She reported on a recent survey on aspects affecting the RTP decision, mainly based around Creighton et al\u2019s (2010) model (#KeyReading). The survey looked at the perception and implementation of the RTP modifying factors and interestingly there were many differences according to both sport and country \u2013 especially in regard to who actually makes the RTP decision.<\/p>\n<p>This talk set the scene for the conference; whilst each speaker would focus on a specific injury type, they would always relate to the general RTP setting, constantly coming back to Creighton\u2019s model and Ian Shrier\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/bjsm.bmj.com\/content\/early\/2015\/06\/02\/bjsports-2014-094569.short?rss=1\">StARRT framework<\/a>, from which many common themes emerged.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-6566\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/bjsm\/files\/2015\/12\/RTP-2.jpg\" alt=\"RTP 2\" width=\"209\" height=\"122\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Theme One &#8211; #TheMindMatters<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Clare Ardern introduced the first of these common themes. She spoke about the <a href=\"http:\/\/bjsm.bmj.com\/content\/48\/21\/1543.full?sid=0e7b495f-8f91-4321-b475-85252b046224\">RTP rates following an ACL injury<\/a> and the <a href=\"http:\/\/bjsm.bmj.com\/content\/48\/22\/1613.full?sid=0e7b495f-8f91-4321-b475-85252b046224\">crucial role that psychological factors play in a successful RTP<\/a>. These points were reinforced by many others throughout the day. There were some stand-out quotes which made a huge impact on social media:<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800080\">Havard Moksnes<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>\u201cACL training is long and boring. Doing it in a group and having fun provides a big psychological boost and better outcomes\u201d<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>\u201cWe should be telling our returning athletes that <strong>\u2018You are not patients anymore, now you have to become an athlete again\u2019\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800080\">Ian Shrier\u00a0<span class=\"ProfileCard-screenname u-dir\" dir=\"ltr\"><a class=\"ProfileCard-screennameLink u-linkComplex js-nav\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/IanShrier\">@<span class=\"u-linkComplex-target\">IanShrier<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>\u201cTreat people, not injuries\u201d<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800080\">Robin Sadler<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>\u201cInjured players need a lot of support, we need to \u2018<strong>HU-MAN<\/strong>age\u2019 the situation\u201d<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800080\">Mary Lundberg<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>\u201cPain related fear affects physical performance\u201d<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>\u201cBe careful with what we say and how we say it\u201d<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>One of the most salient points of the day was the demonstration of the ACL_RSI questionnaire, available as an <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/app\/acl-rsi\/id980148388?mt=8&amp;ign-mpt=uo%3D4\">iOS app<\/a> for easy clinical implementation, which can be used to quantify psychological readiness to RTP.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Theme Two &#8211; #NoSingleTest<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Mark de Carlo demonstrated a criterion based RTP progression, and provided example time frames for when criteria can expect to be met. The topic of performance criteria and testing was expanded on by the following speakers.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-6567\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/bjsm\/files\/2015\/12\/6-pack-RTP-3.jpg\" alt=\"6 pack RTP 3\" width=\"205\" height=\"159\" \/>Both Witvrouw and Moksnes argued that no single test can determine RTP but rather we need to use a battery of tests. Symmetry in testing between the injured and uninjured side was an oft-quoted return criteria, usually with a 90% threshold, but as mentioned by Ardern &amp; Ann Cools \u2013 where are the symmetry figures for non-injured athletes? Benchmarking against others of a similar age, level etc. is useful, but do we have valid\/reliable measurement tools for this?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-6568\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/bjsm\/files\/2015\/12\/RTP-4.jpg\" alt=\"RTP 4\" width=\"204\" height=\"153\" \/>When symmetry is reached there is a further point to consider, that in many cases the pre-injury level of coordination\/endurance\/strength\/skill was not good enough \u2013 the athlete got injured. We therefore need to return them to sport better than they were and closer to what could be considered appropriate\/above their level of participation. Similar points were made by Phil Glasgow, Stephen Mutch and Ian Shrier: injury occurs when load is greater than capacity and that we therefore need to improve an athlete\u2019s load tolerance to reduce their injury risk. However, as Mutch showed in his entertaining videos sport can be highly unpredictable, so how do we train for these complex, reactive and often unforeseeable movement patterns?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Theme Three &#8211; #TimeHeals<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-6569\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/bjsm\/files\/2015\/12\/rtp-5.jpg\" alt=\"rtp 5\" width=\"221\" height=\"165\" \/>We heard a lot about various RTP criteria over the course of the conference but Erik Witvrouw also importantly commented that we must not forget the issue of time, and that tissues need time to heal. He showed scans that demonstrated that knee cartilage was incompletely healed at RTP following an ACL injury. To reinforce this point, Mosksnes stated that from 6-9 months post ACL injury, the risk of re-injury is reduced by <strong>24%<\/strong> for every month RTP is delayed. Similarly, Wagensteen (more on her in part 2!) presented evidence that 50% of hamstring re-injuries occur within 25 days of RTP. So even though the pressures may be enormous, delaying RTP and providing some time for further healing may be worth it in the long run!<\/p>\n<p>Keep your eyes out for Part 2 in the next few weeks.
