If your knee still won’t fully straighten…

You’re not behind.

You’re just missing the thing that matters most early.

Terminal knee extension in any stage of ACL rehab needs to be achieved, loaded, and maintained

is in late stage ACL rehab. She had a small scar tissue blockage and her tibial screw removed to finally get that last bit of terminal extension in addition to managing end range pain

1. TKE sled marches with emphasis on proximal (hips) lengthening in TKE under load
2. TKE sled marches with emphasis on knee extension to extension transition under load
3. TKE overcoming isometric for building tissue capacity

Most people think return-to-run testing is about getting cleared to run.

That’s part of it.

But honestly… that’s not the most important part.

Return-to-run testing is a needs analysis.

It gives us a snapshot of:
• How much force you can produce
• How well you absorb it
• How evenly you’re loading each leg
• How quickly you can generate force

Because running isn’t just “jogging.”

It’s repeated single-leg loading, over and over again.

So if something is off - strength, asymmetry, timing, control -
running doesn’t fix it… it exposes it.

That’s why we use tools like force plates.

Not just to say “yes” or “no” to running, but to answer a better question:

What buckets still need to be filled before the next phase?

On the hop test:

We’re focused on limb symmetry, contact time, and RSI. This tells us how well each leg is handling the demands of running on its own. Can the athlete produce force quickly? Can they get off the ground efficiently? Are both sides contributing equally? Running is a series of rapid ground contacts - so if contact time is long or RSI is low, that’s a clear sign the system isn’t ready for repeated exposure yet.

On the countermovement jump (CMJ):

This gives us a deeper look at how force is produced and absorbed across the entire system. We’re looking at concentric impulse, eccentric braking, rate of force development (RFD), jump height, and peak landing force. These metrics tell us if the athlete can load, reverse, and produce force effectively - and just as importantly, if they can tolerate the forces coming back down. Running demands all of this, just at a smaller scale and higher repetition.

These aren’t just numbers.

They give us a snapshot of where you are and a roadmap for what still needs to be built.

Clearance to run is one outcome.

But the real value is knowing exactly what’s missing
so we can attack it with intent.

That’s what drives the next phase.

Mid stage ACL rehab. The fun begins

Higher level deceleration

Change of direction

Contrast training and heavier loads

Learning to switch the dial between deceleration and acceleration at higher speeds

This sh*t’s fun
