Abstract
The Total Conditioning Support Program (TCSP) provides comprehensive medical/scientific support concurrently in multiple disciplines (rehabilitation, nutrition, psychology, high performance gym, and training gym) to athletes who need rehabilitation due to sports injury or illness. The goal is to accelerate the return to play and improve upon the pre-injury performance level. We provided support through the TCSP to a para-alpine ski racer following an anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. A multi-disciplinary collaborative approach was followed to implement interventions to strengthen muscles in addition to those of the affected leg and improve the aerobic and anaerobic capacity using ergometers. As a result, the athlete was able to compete again after confirming the effectiveness of the training exercises. Thus, multi-disciplinary collaboration was able to resolve problems such as lack of expertise and time constraints that usually arise in a single rehabilitation approach.
