ACL testing does not take place all at once. Different tests are often introduced throughout the length of the rehab process. Some tests are performed early on and then continued to be monitored as you progress into later phases as well. ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ Anterior Step Down-A simple test that looks at dynamic balance, stability and strength without any impact. Can be performed early on as it mimics the same demands of descending stairs. Easy way to look at quality of movement and also competency with modified single leg squatting. Symmetry and benchmark data utilized.⁣ ⁣ Isometric/Isokinetic knee strength-This isolates the quadriceps muscles through the knee extension motion. This will give you the most accurate depiction of how well their quads are developing during the rehab process. Symmetry and benchmark data utilized for successful completion.⁣ ⁣ Vertical Hop Testing-We utilize @vald_performance force plates at our clinic for single leg vertical jump analysis. Vertical jumping has been shown to better capture knee extension deficits than horizontal jumping profiles. Symmetry and normative data used for successful completion.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #acl #aclrecovery #aclrehab #pt #physicaltherapy #physiotherapy #fisio #fisioterapia
