We believe our job isn’t just about healing. It’s also about
prevention. That’s why the people of Aurora Sports Medicine Institute
offers Sportsmetrics™, a national program clinically proven to help young
athletes avoid debilitating knee injuries.
Each year 250,000 athletes suffer injuries to their anterior cruciate
ligament (ACL). This type of knee injury is responsible for more time lost
to recovery than any other sports related injury. Luckily, with
Sportsmetrics™, a good number of these injuries can be prevented.
Sportsmetrics utilizes digital imaging equipment and computers to
analyze the way athletes jump and land to identify those with
neuromuscular imbalances that can lead to knee injuries. This allows
licensed athletic trainers to develop programs to correct improper
jumping, landing, pivoting and cutting techniques and to build optimal
balance and control of lower extremity muscular strength. That in turn,
helps prevent serious knee injury and enhances athletic performance so
that more athletes will experience another full season of success rather
than one cut short by injury.
