(Corvallis, OR) -- Paying for lower extremity injury prevention programs for athletes is worth the cost. A study by Oregon State University finds every dollar spent on programs to prevent injuries, like an ACL tear, saves more than seven times the cost in treatment and rehabilitation. They studied high school soccer players from 2018 and found that if all of the nation's players that year used a lower extremity injury prevention plan it could have saved more than 60-million-dollars in medical expenses.
