Return to sport testing case study research
Super proud of Adam Grannan, PT, DPT! As a UE DPT student, he wanted to examine current return to sport testing. Last week at APTA Combined sections meeting, he presented a case study examining physical status at clearance for return to sport after ACL reconstruction.
What did he find on a 16-year-old multi-sport athlete 6 months post-op after 30 visits of PT who was fully cleared for return to sport?
- FMS composite score 9/21; pain with right inline lunge, and score of 1 deep squat, bilateral hurdle step and left straight leg raise.
- 14 cm asymmetry on YBT-LQ in the posterolateral direction.
- Drop Landing jump attempted but terminated due to safety concerns -- severe valgus collapse.
- TSK-11 score 41/68
Why are we still not performing systematic and rigorous return to sport testing? We have to do better!
