LE RTP in Collegiate Soccer
Hi! I’m seeking insight on time restrictions for soccer players returning from a LE soft tissue injury, such as a hamstring strain… what time restrictions do you typically utilize? How much do you increase per game? I know each patient is different and you cannot generalize RTP; however, I’m hoping to gather some knowledge on how other ATCs typically progress an athlete through their first few games back. Keep in mind this athlete has transitioned into training fully. Thank you!

I agree, I think there are other factors because coaches may not want them back unless they are 100%. Generally though I try to consider the severity, how much time has been lost already, position and strength. I liked using minutes of play to progress them back to play. Not an exact science but as long as they stay full strength (repeated testing at 90 and 15 deg) and full ROM, keep going. Not a deal breaker, but if you have Catapult data or any of the other fancy gizmos you have more data to make decisions. Can be a blessing and a curse though. If you’re talking a higher grade, then following a jog to sprint progression. A lot will be feedback from the patient, as well as what we can see when they go through the progression. Both land and pool if you have the ability to. Overall, sprinting and eccentrics are going to be your best friends for hamstring strains.

What’s a win that happened for you or your patient this month? I’ll go first… my husband had Achilles surgery two weeks ago. He was released to start PT and 25% weight-bearing!

Had a pitcher return to sustained pain free throwing after 2 years of chronic anterior shoulder pain, while avoiding surgical intervention in the process.

@Jenna Doggett reverse throws, cleaning up/ really establishing a pre and post throw routine, and dry needling with stim. More for infraspinatus activation and then paired with High EMG neuro muscular ed
About Me
Hi everyone, my name is Ryan, I am currently an assistant athletic trainer at Colorado State University. Previously I have been an athletic trainer at Emporia State Univeristy, and got my undergraduate degree from Nebraska Wesleyan University. Currently I am transitioning into working with two teams I have very little knowledge of, so I am trying to grow as an AT to properly provide services to them. In general, I am always looking to grow and learn as an AT and find new and better ways to help and benefit my student athletes.

@Jenna Doggett @Ryan Glackman I’m late on this one but I was the Head AT Northwest Missouri State. Great to see former MIAA ATs
Interesting Case
I recently had a private client with a Subtalor Joint Coalition Resection. Came to me 4 months P/O still having issues. Strength and ROM are all good. Increased hyper pronation on operative side. Also, decent true leg length discrepancy. Interested to see if anyone has seen one before? What were outcomes, perils or tips?

I’m excited to see this thread. In Undergrad, in exercise science we had to do 40, 50 yard dashes. I was racing against a classmate, I tried to push and I felt my hamstring just pop. Luckily we were on the track and I was wearing long sleeves, but I ate it. Fell right on my face. Had to hear it for weeks. Didn’t you stretch?? Of course I didn’t. To boot, this is the day before my first NFL internship. I was in the parking lot of the meadowlands doing hip spicas and compressions wraps so I could try and walk normal. If anyone has done an NFL internship, we were always told you run everywhere. So of course we are in the indoor facility and a player asked me for something we didn’t have at practice. So I had to run/ limp to storage to get something. Luckily only a few of the guys on IR saw me.
