Clinical criteria are important indicators of adequate loading when returning to running. This is typically around 3-4 month post ACL surgery
We suggest that these clinical criteria:
Pain <2 out 10 in oain,
95%knee flexion RoM (side to side difference)
Full extension RoM (0° knee extension)
No effusion/trace of effusion/swelling
We propose the term return-to-running activities to describe the phase of RTR at a slow speed (8–10km/ hour).
