Under the guidance of Dr. Raghu Nagaraj, Arthomed Clinic’s Sports Rehabilitation & Physiotherapy program harnesses objective assessment tools (isokinetic dynamometry, markerless 3D motion capture, Functional Movement Screen™), tailored strength‑and‑conditioning regimens, advanced plyometric protocols, and outpatient biologic injections (PRP/BMAC) to accelerate recovery, minimize reinjury risk and optimize return to sport.
Advanced Assessment & Injury Prevention
Muscle Strength Analysis: We employ isokinetic dynamometry and force‑plate systems to quantify quadriceps, hamstring and core strength imbalances—data that guide individualized strength‑training and reduce reinjury risk (International Journal of Sports Physical Therapy; Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine)
Musculoskeletal Screening: Using 3D motion‑capture and movement‑screen protocols (e.g., FMS, Y‑Balance), we identify biomechanical faults in gait, jump‑landing and cutting tasks. Early detection leads to bespoke corrective exercises that preempt common overuse and acute injuries (British Journal of Sports Medicine; Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy)
Strength & Conditioning Training
Periodized, Sport‑Specific Resistance Programs: Building on isokinetic data, our therapists design periodized strength plans—leveraging free
weights, cables and machine resistance—to restore muscle balance, enhance power and support safe progression of load in sport‑specific movement patterns.
Neuromuscular Control & Dynamic Stability: Neuromuscular drills incorporating balance boards, perturbation training and reactive agility tasks rebuild proprioception and joint stability, decreasing risk of graft rupture or reinjury during cutting and pivoting maneuvers.
Plyometric Rehabilitation
Plyometric exercises—ranging from low‑level hops to complex multi‑directional jumps—are introduced in the late‑rehab phase to retrain the stretch‑shortening cycle, enhance explosive strength and safely prepare athletes for the demands of sport.
Outpatient Biologic Interventions
PRP for Tendinopathies: Ultrasound‑guided platelet‑rich plasma (PRP) injections effectively reduce pain and improve function in lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow), with studies demonstrating clinically meaningful improvements at 6–12 months.
PRP in Partial ACL Tears : For grade I–II partial ACL injuries, PRP injections yield MRI‑evident ligament maturation in 50 % of cases and enable return to sport timelines comparable to non‑PRP cohorts.
PRP for Sprains & Instability : In chronic lateral ankle instability and high‑grade sprains, PRP administered intra‑articularly and to peri‑ligamentous structures significantly improves stability scores (CAIT, Karlsson) by over 50 % at three months.
PRP for Meniscal & Cartilage Lesions :
Meniscal Injuries: Stable meniscal tears treated with PRP show >80 % symptomatic relief and functional gains by three months.
Early Cartilage Damage: Intra‑articular PRP for mild chondral lesions enhances pain, stiffness and daily‑living scores, supporting cartilage repair and delaying progression of osteoarthritis.
By combining Arthomed Clinic’s state‑of‑the‑art diagnostic platforms, evidence‑based strength and plyometric training and outpatient PRP therapies—delivered under the expert supervision of Dr. Raghu Nagaraj—we empower athletes to recover fully, return safely and excel in their sporting careers.
