Description:

Return to play testing and specific criteria is a very exciting and ever changing area of sports medicine. It is important to obtain objective test measurements’  on athletic patients before returning to running and sports. Several research studies have demonstrated that fulfilling specific objective criteria can reduce re-injury rates in ACL patients. Thus, specific objective tests can be extremely beneficial to assist patients safely back to activities.
