Countermovement Jump and Isokinetic Dynamometry as Measures of Rehabilitation Status After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction

Abstract

Rehabilitation of ACLR patients may be complete when they achieve isokinetic knee-extension peak torque of 260% (±40%) body mass, SL CMJ performance of >17 cm (±4 cm), and reach-limb symmetry measures of >90% in both strength and jump outcomes. The outcomes in the control group can inform return-to-play criteria for young adult male multidirectional field-sport athletes after ACLR.
