Evidence-based clinical practice update: practice guidelines for anterior cruciate ligament rehabilitation based on a systematic review and multidisciplinary consensus

TL;DR: Rehabilitation after ACL injury should include a prehabilitation phase and 3 criterion-based postoperative phases:1) impairment-based, (2) sport-specific training and (3) return to play.
Journal ArticleDOI

How to determine leg dominance: The agreement between self-reported and observed performance in healthy adults.

TL;DR: It is appropriate to ask healthy adults: “If you would shoot a ball on a target, which leg would you use to shoot the ball?” to determine leg dominance in bilateral mobilizing tasks, but a considerable number of the participants switched the dominant leg in a unilateral stabilizing task.
Journal ArticleDOI

Patient-Reported Outcome questionnaires for hip arthroscopy: a systematic review of the psychometric evidence

TL;DR: It is shown that there is no conclusive evidence for the use of a single patient-reported outcome questionnaire in the evaluation of patients undergoing hip arthroscopy, and based on available psychometric evidence, a combination of the NAHS and the HOS is the best quality questionnaire.
Journal ArticleDOI

Assessment of functional performance after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: a systematic review of measurement procedures

TL;DR: Measurement of functional performance more than 2 years after ACL reconstruction consists of concentric or isometric strength, the single-leg hop for distance or a combination, the Limb Symmetry Index, and the main outcome parameter to compare the involved leg with the uninvolved.
Journal ArticleDOI

ACL reconstruction with hamstring tendon autograft and accelerated brace-free rehabilitation: a systematic review of clinical outcomes

TL;DR: After hamstring tendon autograft ACLR with accelerated brace-free rehabilitation, clinical outcome is similar after single-bundle and double-b Bundle ACLR, as well as on validated, criterion-based assessments for safe return to sports.
