Comparison of Rehabilitation Characteristics Among High, Average, and Low Performers on Return-to-Sport Testing in Athletes After ACL Reconstruction

Athletes who performed well on RTS tests after ACLR had a significantly higher frequency of rehabilitation encounters during the second half of their rehabilitation episode. Supervised care during the later stages of rehabilitation may have contributed to the more favorable outcomes on RTS tests. Clinicians and patients should consider the timing and distribution of rehabilitation encounters when creating and modifying a plan of care.
