Abstract

|
Returning to sports activities after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is an important treatment goal for most patients with ACL tears. Choosing the appropriate graft, positioning the tunnel anatomically, and stabilizing the graft robustly have been performed with the goal of return to sports. However, in spite of the importance of assessing knee function in determining its timing, standardized evidence-based criteria that can be used to judge whether athletes can safely return to sports are yet to be developed. A simple, reliable, and objective “goal-oriented” test battery is required to assess this. This review paper aims to evaluate the preexisting functional tests that assess the preparedness of individuals to return to sports and to develop a test battery of functional tests that can be applied in the clinic.
