1
Q
4 parts of return to sport
A
- subjective questionnaires
- clinical examination
- strength testing
- functional testing
2
Q
Measurable goal in strength testing
A
Within 90% of uninjured side
3
Q
What is a functional test (2 components)?
A
- Mimics functional/sport movements
- Objective, quantitative, decrease re-injury risk for athlete, clinicians can be confident in their RTP decision
4
Q

Q
What are you looking for in a functional test?
A
- Proper control with take off and landing
- No compensations
- Confidence in movement
- 90%+ compared to uninjured side
