Neurocognitive Training for ACL Rehabilitation and Return to Play Testing
Return to play after ACL reconstruction surgery is often a complicated decision-making process. As we have written in the past, numerous studies have shown that return to play testing after ACL reconstruction is not straightforward. With ACL re-tear rates so high, our physical therapy research is still lacking definitive guidelines on the best return-to-play criteria. However, recent trends may support a combination or neuromuscular and neurocognitive approaches to improve outcomes.
