In Session 022201 we're joined by two familiar names and faces, Lynn Grimm and Lee Poston. Both are diplomats in the McKenzie Method of Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy and both have trained in GOATA, a dynamic, slow-motion video movement assessment system identifying patterns associated with best performance and least non-contact injury. Lynn presents a 25 year old male, an American football linebacker, 4 years post ACL reconstruction. She explains her current working relationship with an athlete high-performance training center which trains athletes in GOATA. She shares this patient's history, the physical exam findings including multiple baselines of which the patient was unaware. With Lee's help they demonstrate some of the movement drills used within the GOATA intervention and she explains how it fits within her MDT assessment how she's seen this aid in maintaining derangements and assist in recovery of function and prevention. This is a great case of an athlete unaware of multiple limitations found in a thorough mechanical exam, which, once uncovered, rapidly led him to return to his sport specific training.
