By describing an evidence-based RTP protocol with standardized physical therapy management, and measures taken to implement this protocol, this clinical commentary aims to identify steps in treating SRC that can be used to improve recovery. The purpose of this commentary is to: a) survey the ...
It is following this stage that an appropriate RTS testing protocol should be implemented to identify if the athlete possesses the workload capacity for returning to unrestricted sport competition. Upon clearance, it will be important to record forces and revise workloads. In our opinion, the last...
In addition, each step in the algorithm includes a treatment protocol. These protocols are meant to help the athlete to improve through each phase safely so that they can achieve the desired goals and progress through the algorithm and back to their chosen sport. We hope that this algorithm ...
Prosthetic feet are designed to store energy during early stance and then release a portion of that energy during late stance. The usefulness of providing more energy return depends on whether or not that energy transfers up the lower limb to aid in whol
Hip and groin pain is common among athletes, especially in multidirectional sports. Injuries to the hip and groin include everything from acute muscle strains to chronic pain developed from the hip joint. Due to the complex anatomy of the hip and surrounding tissue, differential diagnostics is dif...

In 2016, a consensus group from the First World Congress in Sports Physical Therapy defined an RTS continuum in general for all sports, but this has not been applied to ACL injury.11 The RTS continuum emphasised a criteria-based progression from ‘return to participation’ to ‘return to ...
In phase 3 (weeks 6-12), advanced strengthening and stability exercises were introduced to improve proprioception, and a running progression was instituted during phase 4 (weeks 12-20). Sport specific activities were introduced during phase 5 (weeks 20-24). Physical Function Tests at RTS All ...
(reduce inflammation symptoms and restore range of motion to enable weight-bearing); Phase II, the restorative phase (improve the strength of the quadriceps muscle and recover cardiovascular endurance); Phase III, the return to full functional activity (familiarize the patient with sport-specific ...
In this process, this was carried out by removing features in a step-by-step manner, running the RFE to select all but one of the supplied features. After each run, the resulting quality of the fitted model in the test set was stored, containing only the selected features. For the ...
