Sportsmetrics™

Preventing knee injuries before they happen  

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.
