Vail Sport Test Garrison et al. The reliability of the Vail sport test as a measure of physical performance following ACL Reconstruction. IJSPT. 2012; 7 (1) 20 – 30. “Functional tool that is reliable in assessing performance in RTS phase of rehab. When used as a component in a battery of outcome measures it may allow for effective clinician evaluation.”
Other considerations: Return to sport ratios post injury Thorborg, K. et al. Hip adduction and abduction strength profiles in elite soccer players: implications for clinical evaluation of hip adductor muscle recovery after injury. • An ipsilateral hip adduction/abduction strength ratio of more than 90%, has been suggested to clinically represent adequate strength recovery with groin injury. Thorborg K, et al. Eccentric hip adduction and abduction strength in elite soccer players and matched controls: a cross sectional study Br J Sports Med. 2011 . • Lower extremity strength deficits of less than 10% on the injured side, compared to the uninjured side, have been suggested as the clinical milestone before returning to sports following injury.
