Return to Play Testing after ACL Reconstruction

In this article Brian Schiff explains some of the criteria he uses to test his athletes before releasing them back to the field following an ACL reconstruction. While he presents a unique school of thought, he uses research articles to back up why he implements specific tests.  Included in this post is a video of the single leg broad jumps, triple hop, cross-over hop, and 6 M timed hop test.  If you are interested in getting a different perspective on return to play criteria for ACL athletes, this article is a great read.  What are some of the return to play criteria you use to determine if an athlete is ready?
