“…And the rehabilitation clinician might be the central player in this trifecta 1. Almost a year after ACLR, the key criteria3 of >90% quadriceps strength and single hop performance were met by 31% and 53% of undertreated athletes, respectively 1. In comparison, 79% and 89% met these criteria after evidence-based rehabilitation in the USA 4.…”
“…Alarming underutilisation of rehabilitation after ACL reconstruction (ACLR) was highlighted in a recent study 1. These Australian trends are not unique, but support the emerging realisation that athletes may be overtreated with ACLR surgery, but undertreated when it comes to rehabilitation.…”

“…Among non-elite athletes with ACLR, only 5% received rehabilitation1 that followed evidence-based guidelines2: ≥6 months’ rehabilitation, including agility and landing exercises, and a structured return to sport (RTS). Most athletes were undertreated: 45% (50 of 111) never saw a clinician after the third postoperative month and 70% (78 of 111) never did agility or landing exercises 1.…”

“…It is time we translated evidence-based rehabilitation programmes into clinical practice. There is an alarming underutilisation of rehabilitation, with 45% of community-level athletes discontinuing supervised rehabilitation by 3 months post-ACLR 7. Achievement of physical resilience before return-to-sport is unlikely and may be a key contributor to failed return-to-sport with or without surgery.…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
