High school athletes spend countless summer hours in camps and clinics improving their sport-specific skills. But all that work will mean little if they are sidelined by an ACL tear. That’s the reasoning behind the Sportsmetrics injury prevention summer camps that are gaining popularity nationwide.
Sportsmetrics is an evidence-based ACL injury prevention program developed by Frank Noyes, MD, Chair and Medical Director of the Cincinnati SportsMedicine and Orthopaedic Center, and his team of athletic trainers, physical therapists, and researchers.
