Rehabilitation volume, psychological readiness, and motor function are important factors for a successful return to sport after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: A 2-year follow-up cohort study
The most important factors for a successful pre-injury-level return to sport after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction were the exercise volume, psychological readiness and functional hop/jump abilities. Whilst the impact of these modifiable factors was robust against multilevel modelling, the impact of athletic and working status vanishes when the prospective factors are included.
