Risk Factors of Arthrogenic Muscle Inhibition - #AMR385

We’ve all seen it: the acute ACL patient who drags their leg into the clinic, unable to squeeze their quad to save their life. We call it Arthrogenic Muscle Inhibition (AMI), and for years, we’ve treated it as a stubborn, long-term enemy. But a fascinating new study from the American Journal of Sports Medicine suggests we might be overcomplicating it.Researchers analyzed 300 acute ACL patients and found that while AMI is incredibly common (affecting over half of patients), it’s also surprisingly fragile. In fact, they found that nearly 80% of cases could be fully reversed in a single session with simple exercises. In this episode, we dive into the 'Red Flags' that predict quad shutdown—including one common sleeping habit you need to ban immediately—and how to flip the switch back on for your patients.To see full show notes and more, head to: https://mikereinold.com/risk-factors-of-arthrogenic-muscle-inhibition----------Want to learn a complete system to help people restore, optimize, and enhance their performance?Enrollment in my Champion Performance Specialist program is opening soon.   We only open the doors to new cohorts twice per year.  Click here to learn how to join the pre-sale VIP list to save $300 and enroll a week early to secure your spot.
