A novel non-surgical bracing intervention to facilitate anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) healing after rupture
We are thrilled to announce our collaboration with Bauerfeind ANZ and the University of Melbourne on an industry-focused PhD project aimed at addressing key challenges in the Sports Medicine sector. This collaborative effort brings together academic expertise and industry insights to drive innovation and deliver real-world impact.
Our project, titled "A Novel Non-Surgical Bracing Intervention to facilitate Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) healing after rupture" focuses on further exploring the utility and outcomes of the Cross Bracing Protocol (CBP) intervention for ACL rupture management.
It seeks to address critical knowledge gaps in an innovative area of research to inform clinical practice, establish patient and MRI factors conducive to ACL healing following rupture and inform product development and implementation barriers/facilitators regarding the Cross Bracing Protocol.
