Clock Yourself App

Reactionary drills using Clock Yourself

 

The Clock Yourself app is a great tool for therapists and athletes when introducing reactionary movements during the rehab process.

These multi directional movements could be used in the rehabililtation of many lower limb injuries, such as ankle sprains, ACL reconstruction, and groin strains.

The increased cognitive demands challenge the athlete, and are a way to start bridging the gap between rehab and return to basketball. Have a go yourself – working out where the numbers are without visual stimuli is pretty tricky first try!

Developed by an Australian physiotherapist Meg Lowry, it is available to download to your smart device. The App is extremely user friendly, with the ability to change the speed (steps per minute) and difficulty. Perform the exercises at home, in the gym, or on court!

Want more info about the app? Visit https://www.clockyourself.com.au/

Lower limb rehab drills using Clock Yourself could include:

  • Lunges

  • Jumps

  • Hops

  • Agility Star Runs

  • Ball Handling

 If you have had a recent injury or surgery please consult a health professional prior to attempting these exercises. A Sports and Exercise Physiotherapist will be able to help diagnose your injury, tailor the rehabilitation and ensure it is safe to introduce more challenging drills.

If you would like a telehealth video consult or detailed return to sport rehabilitation plan please email david@basketball.physio
