7 ACL Tests That Separate Full Recovery from Re-Injury

Описание: Most people think their knee is ready after ACL surgery... but the truth?
Most people never get properly tested to actually know. 😬

In this video, physical therapist and ACL specialist, John Kahl, breaks down the 7 essential ACL recovery tests that every successful rehab program should include — and the research-based benchmarks that determine whether your knee is actually ready for the next step.

⚡️ What You’ll Learn

✅ Why time-based recovery (e.g., “9 months = ready”) doesn’t work
✅ How to know if your swelling, motion, and strength are truly where they need to be
✅ The gold-standard ways to test quadriceps strength (and which ones are completely useless)
✅ The missing link — psychological readiness and confidence testing
✅ Jump, change of direction, and sport-specific testing
✅ What it really takes to know your knee is ready to return to sport
