Objectives: Sports often witness a high occurrence of ACL injuries, which are both common and tend to reoccur frequently. The utilization of functional tests holds significance in aiding athletes in their Return to Sports (RTS) following ACL Injury Reconstruction (ACLR). By comprehending this injury through the implementation of functional tests, the potential for reinjury can be reduced. Additionally, this approach can lead to decreased therapeutic costs and facilitate a smoother rehabilitation process, ultimately enabling a successful RTS. The primary goal of this study was to compile a comprehensive functional test and their sensitivity and specificity for return to sport after ACL injuries reconstruction.
Methods: In this scoping review, an extensive survey of functional tests for assessing the ability to RTS after ACL injuries was conducted. The search was performed on various databases including Web of Science, PEDRO, Google Scholar, PubMed, ScienceDirect, SCOPUS, and CINAHL, covering the period from 2000 to January 2023. The purpose was to gather a comprehensive range of relevant studies and information on functional tests used in evaluating RTS after ACL injuries. Furthermore, a manual search of the sources of articles was carried out and was thoroughly examined.
Results: Out of the 31 papers that were reviewed, 14 were chosen to be included in this scoping review. The results and findings from these selected papers will be thoroughly examined, reported, and analyzed as an integral part of the review process. They were about balance and postural control, agility, power, screening and movement patterns tests. Hop, Shuttle run, Vertical jump, Carioca tests, and the Lower Extremity Functional Test Protocol (LEFT) as functional tests for RTS after ACLR in terms of sensitivity and specificity.
Discussion: An analysis of studies showed that there are different functional tests. According to the result of this study, the most common functional tests, the Hop group tests may be more common functional tests for RTS after ACLR in terms of sensitivity and specificity which were the main focus of this scoping review. We hope these tests would be useful for personal trainers, athletic trainers, practitioners, and clinicians when functionally evaluating their injured athletes.
