ACL: on the road to recovery with BACK3TX
image
Feared by many athletes, the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is a challenging path to recovery. From the basketball court to the ski slope, and the football field, this injury can strike unexpectedly, jeopardizing athletes' careers. But fret not, because Winback is here to guide you towards healing with its BACK3TX device, an exceptional ally for physiotherapists seeking efficiency and performance!

After that fateful moment when the ACL gives way under pressure and signals "Game Over," choices must be made. Two surgical solutions exist. First, there's the Kenneth-Jones method, a proven surgical technique that reconstructs the ACL using a piece of the patellar tendon, making it stronger and more resilient to future stress. Injured athletes can then contemplate a return to the field with increased confidence. Another approach is the DIDT technique (Double Bundle Hamstring - Internal Right Knee - Patellar Tendon), a newer and more complex method, but now more widespread. It involves using two bundles of hamstring tendons to reconstruct the ACL, braiding them together to form a robust double bundle that is inserted into the knee to replace the damaged ACL. This method allows for better restoration of knee biomechanical function and improved stability during movements.

Rehabilitation: A Path Full of Challenges


No matter the chosen method, the operation is just the beginning of the journey! To regain strength and mobility, the patient must navigate a rehabilitation path filled with obstacles and challenges. This is where physiotherapists come into play, acting as true guides who accompany their patients step by step towards recovery. ACL rehabilitation involves meticulous work to strengthen muscles, improve proprioception, and restore knee stability. Quite a program!

In this adventure, the BACK3TX device becomes the perfect travel companion, an excellent ally for physiotherapists striving for excellence. With its Hi-TENS, TECAR, and Hi-EMS currents, this device is a real gem that accelerates patient care while enhancing post-operative scar management. Say goodbye to unsightly scars that leave marks on the skin! Thanks to BACK3TX, the scar becomes a thing of the past, like an old war wound barely remembered.


Hi-TENS, TECAR, Hi-EMS: A Winning Team


The trio of electrical currents offered by BACK3TX proves infallible in optimizing ACL surgery rehabilitation. The high-frequency transcutaneous nerve stimulation of Hi-TENS, acting like a skilled couturier, significantly reduces scar visibility and targets nerves affected by it, reducing inflammation and promoting tissue regeneration. Moreover, the resulting nerve stimulation triggers the release of natural endorphins, helping to alleviate any residual pain.

TECAR, like an alchemist, utilizes radiofrequency to eliminate adhesions around the scar area. Adhesions form when scar tissues stick together abnormally, causing movement restrictions and potential discomfort. Precisely applied (for example, using the Fascia Mini), TECAR breaks down these adhesions in a controlled manner, allowing tissues to reorganize more efficiently and promoting an optimized healing process.

And finally, Hi-EMS, acting as a sports coach, strengthens the knee muscles for unwavering stability! Used to stimulate the muscle fibers around the knee, it triggers their contraction and gradual reinforcement. Through this approach, the knee muscles become more powerful, offering increased stability and support to the joint. This electrostimulation method, based on well-established biomechanical principles, contributes to effective rehabilitation and prevention of future injuries.

Embark with Winback and BACK3TX on this exciting journey of healing for your injured patients. With rehabilitation supported by Hi-TENS, TECAR, and Hi-EMS currents, you're on the right track to lead them towards swift and effective recovery. Together, form an unbeatable team to empower athletes to return stronger than ever to the fields, ready to conquer the heights once again.
