Video Summary
In this video, the speaker discusses the importance of return to sport testing after ACL reconstruction and how it is currently administered after patients are out of the supervision of rehab specialists. The purpose of the study was to compare the return to sport testing between two groups: one group that had an interim assessment at least two months prior to their first visit, and another group that had their first visit at six to eight months post-surgery. The results showed that the group with the interim assessment had better patient-reported outcomes, stronger quadriceps and hamstrings, and better hamstring symmetry. The speaker emphasizes the importance of serial testing and recommends adding an interim assessment no less than two months before the terminal time point for return to sport testing. The study concludes that adding an interim assessment improves patient outcomes.
