Q: Back injury after knee reco

Hi all.

I have a medical question, which is for an assignment. We are given some details and need to work out what is wrong. It is very difficult and I have no idea where to start! I was wondering if anybody out there knew anything that would help me!

Here's the problem:

"Amanda is a 19yo tennis player that you have been contracted to do some fitness training with. She is on a long comeback from a major ACL, MCL and meniscus injury to the left knee whilst playing tennis 11 months ago. She is very committed to the sport and has done heaps of closed kinetic chain rehab on the injured leg and worked closely with her physio to regain full strength in her extensors and flexors compared to baseline measures. The physio and doctors gave her the all clear to begin full competition 3 months ago. Competing again, she is struggling with back pain and has noted a breakdown in technique with fatigue. Amanda says the knee feels fine, her back is annoying her however and she doesn't seem to be able to generate the same punch in her shots as she did before the knee op."

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Regards,

Jo
