The decision to return to sport (RTS) after an injury is one of the most complicated in sports medicine, due to the posibility of reinjury.
The return to sport tests allow one to set goals to assess the condition of the patient and establish certain criteria before returning to competition. These tests include: strength tests, jumping tests and stability tests, and are based on the “Limb Symetry Indexes” (LSI). Nevertheless, there are studies which indicate that this method of evaluation could overestimate knee function values, and the need to include specific sport movements in the tests.
