Bridge the Gap: Objective Exit Criteria for Return to Deceleration Post-ACL
Official ProSCA High-Performance Laboratory Asset

Time-based post-operative clearance remains a primary driver of secondary ACL rupture in field sports. Modern rehabilitation demands objective biomechanical exit criteria.

Our Elite Rehab framework emphasizes braking rate of force development, trunk displacement control, and single-leg deceleration symmetry prior to full contact clearance.
