Episode notes
Using Muscle Swelling in Recovery
- Measuring intramuscular swelling volume during recovery accurately tracks healing progress in hamstring strains.
- This provides objective data for return-to-play decisions, supplementing subjective pain and strength reports.
Collaborate for Return-To-Play Decisions
- Effective return-to-play requires collaborative decisions from medical, strength, and therapy teams using objective data.
- Combine Springbok metrics with functional and subjective assessments to inform safer athlete progressions.
Sport-Specific Muscle Benchmarking
- Springbok is building sport-specific muscle databases for NBA, MLB, and other sports to benchmark and identify injury risks.
- Comparing muscle attributes among healthy and injured athletes enables tailored training to prevent injury.
