Ep 143. Beginning with the end in mind for return to sport, with Dr Lionel Chia

Dr Lionel Chia joins Chelsea and Dan to bring his 2022 article in JOSPT, Beginning With The End In Mind: Implementing Backward Design To Improve Sports Injury Rehabilitation Practices, to life. Lionel outlines 4 categories to consider when planning return to sport and performance: (1) deconstructing goals, (2) determining key performance indicators, (3) assessing the challenge point, and (4) using the control-chaos continuum to guide interventions. We work through examples of why and where to use the concept of backward design during rehabilitation. ------------------------- RESOURCES Find Lionel's paper here: https://www.jospt.org/doi/10.2519/jospt.2022.11440 More on designing effect exercise progressions during rehabilitation (Blanchard & Glasgow): https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28756390/ More on motor learning and the challenge point—where effective practice occurs: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15130871/ The control-chaos continuum and progressing rehabilitation (Taberner and colleagues): https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30737202/
