Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

ACL Series: When an ACL Isn’t Alone: Dr. James Dreese on Complex Knee Reconstruction
Q: Tell me a little about the LET procedure.
The LET procedure emerged as a response to rotational instability seen after traditional ACL reconstructions, aiming to control pivot shifts and protect the knee from recurrent meniscal tears. Over time, it evolved from a method requiring a separate graft to a technique that achieves similar stability without harvesting an additional graft, making it more efficient while maintaining clinical effectiveness.
ACL Series: The Missing Link in ACL Rehab: Working with a Strength & Conditioning Coach, with S&C Coach, Reuben Green
Q: How do you determine when an athlete is ready for plyometrics or higher-load activities?
Focus on movement quality, progressive strength development, and sport-relevant demands rather than fixed load benchmarks; use regression when needed and progress through controlled stages to prepare for play.
ACL Series: The Missing Link in ACL Rehab: Working with a Strength & Conditioning Coach, with S&C Coach, Reuben Green
Q: When in the recovery timeline should the strength and conditioning coach begin coordinating care with the physical therapist?
As soon as possible, to build rapport early and collaboratively address protection and capacity phases while maintaining continuity of care.
Navigating Parkinson’s Disease with Physical Therapist Jen McDivitt
Q: What are some of the most common movement challenges you see in this population?
The patient group often struggles with bradykinesia and hypokinesia, compounded by sensory deficits, reduced body awareness, and cognitive changes, with freezing being especially challenging and requiring specific strategies.
Navigating Parkinson’s Disease with Physical Therapist Jen McDivitt
Q: Anyway, before we get going, I always love to hear about my guests' journey into their field. So how did you get into PT?
Jen explains she was drawn to medical fields from high school, volunteered, and ultimately trained at the University of Delaware, moving from pediatrics interests to a broader inpatient/outpatient experience before settling into neurology and particularly Parkinson's care.
