abstract: The rehabilitation of an athletic injury may represent the greatest challenge of an athlete's career. The challenge to the sports medicine professional is to provide the most up to date and best care possible. Prehabilitation is one part of that care. Management of the acute injury, conditioning the athlete, and preventing unnecessary atrophy are all steps in helping the athlete to meet his or her challenge.
