Clinical Implications for Athletes with ACL Injuries (2022.09.28)

Thank you

Join the College & Pro SIG for September Journal Club discussing Clinical Implications for athletes with an ACL injury.

The articles selected will look at musculoskeletal and neurological implications for ACL injury, explicitly focusing on Arthrogenic Muscle InhibitionI, rate of force development testing, and neurocognitive considerations.

Dr. Meredith Chaput out of the Neuromuscular Biomechanics and Health Assessment lab at Ohio University will serve as one of our experts on this topic!

Dr. Cobian is an assistant professor in the Department of Orthopedics and Rehabilitation, a faculty member of the Doctor of Physical Therapy program, and a research scientist with the Badger Athletic Performance Lab. Prior to joining the faculty at UW-Madison, he received a PhD in Rehabilitation Science from The University of Iowa (2015) and completed a postdoc position in the Department of Orthopedics and Rehabilitation at UW-Madison (2016).

The focus of Cobian’s thesis work was lower extremity power and rapid force development after knee injury, surgery, and rehabilitation. The objectives of his current research are to better understand the neuromuscular implications of musculoskeletal trauma, characterize the effects of injury on movement biomechanics, sports performance and function, and determine how to best prescribe and dose rehabilitation interventions to facilitate improved outcomes and long term quality of life.

Cobian was a graduate of the inaugural Doctor of Physical Therapy class at UW-Madison in 2010 and earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Biology and Kinesiology from the University of Wisconsin - Madison in 2006. He is a certified strength and conditioning specialist (CSCS) through the National Strength and Conditioning Association (2006).

His current teaching responsibilities include Tissue Mechanics and Adaptations (PT 627), Neuromuscular Mechanics and Control (PT 628), Foundations of Physical Therapy Intervention (PT 534), and Orthotics: Applications in Physical Therapy Practice (PT 675).

Cobian is a member of the American Physical Therapy Association (Sports, Orthopaedic, and Research sections), the National Strength and Conditioning Association, and the American College of Sports Medicine. He practices physical therapy in Sports Rehabilitation for UW Health at The American Center. His clinical specialties include lower extremity musculoskeletal trauma, with an emphasis on knee joint injury and surgery.
