Join neuroscientist and world renowned expert in physical literacy for this session on physical literacy enriched rehabilitation practices.
This session will provide the background for physical literacy enriched rehabilitation (PLER) based on its use in performance circus, dance and sport contexts. A well articulated framework for rehabilitation for anterior cruciate ligament injuries will be presented as a PLER model for application for other injuries. In addition, a “ready to perform” approach with over 25 factors will be presented that can be applied for successful preparation of artists and athletes whether they are uninjured or are in recovery from injury.
