Big learnings from year one of our Return to Play pilot!

Objective testing is helping strengthen rehab pathways, support better clinical decisions, and improve patient outcomes.

With 69 patients tested, pass rates improved from 9% to 36% after continued physio support - showing the value of ongoing rehab and evidence-informed care.

This pilot has also reinforced the importance of making services more accessible, scalable, and equitable by supporting testing within local clinics.

We’re excited for what’s next as we roll out updated protocols, frameworks, and resources across the network.

RESS and VALD Health are launching the third session in a three-part RESS ACL Return to Play series.  

What we are covering: 

❓️How to track and measure your patients recovery journey to ensure they're on the right track

❓️Using force plates and dynamometry throughout rehab to assess performance and readiness for Return to Play

❓️Interpreting force plates metrics and force-time curves for deeper insights, plus how research is shaping best practice in ACL Rehab.

This initiative aligns with RESS’s commitment to clinical excellence and the pursuit of optimal patient outcomes.

Through this pilot, RESS is offering an independent platform to support our physiotherapy network with comprehensive reports and informed recommendations.

We appreciate the RESS Knee Clinical Governance Committee as well as VALD Health for their collaboration.
