Why Strength Testing Matters After an ACL Injury
After an ACL injury or surgery, regaining knee strength is critical. Imbalances between your injured and uninjured leg can increase the risk of re-injury.
At our Rydalmere physiotherapy clinic, we use advanced strength testing to measure:
-
Quadriceps and hamstring strength
-
Limb symmetry
-
Functional performance for sport-specific tasks
Force Plate Technology for Accurate Assessment
Our force plates allow us to track your strength and power objectively. They provide:
-
Side-to-side comparison of leg strength
-
Jump and landing analysis
-
Data to guide rehabilitation progression
This ensures that your rehab isn’t based on guesswork — it’s evidence-based and personalised.
Return-to-Sport Assessments
Strength alone isn’t enough. Our return-to-sport testing includes:
-
Functional movement assessments
-
Single-leg hop and agility tests
-
Sport-specific drills tailored to your activity (soccer, netball, rugby, jiu-jitsu, etc.)
These tests confirm your knee is ready for the demands of your sport, giving both you and your physio confidence in your recovery.
Integrating Rehab and Recovery
Alongside testing, our Rydalmere ACL rehab program combines:
-
Manual therapy for mobility and pain management
-
Gym-based strength and conditioning
-
Infrared sauna sessions for recovery and muscle support
-
A structured, progressive plan that gradually prepares you for return to play
