At Aspetar, our mission is to help athletes achieve their maximum performance and reach their full potential. As a leading global reference center in sports medicine, we are dedicated to supporting athletes of all levels in returning to their desired sport and activities as quickly and safely as possible. Specifically in sports rehabilitation, our goal is to standardize the way knee assessments are conducted and compared.
Standardizing knee tests during rehabilitation ensures consistency in both subjective and objective progress markers, which is essential for accurately tracking recovery and making informed decisions. By following standardized testing protocols, clinicians can assess whether a patient is progressing appropriately, determine when it's safe to advance rehabilitation, and evaluate the readiness to return to activity or sport. Ultimately, the aim is to help patients regain full function while minimizing the risk of re-injury.
The lack of standardized measurement protocols in rehabilitation can lead to inconsistent results, making it challenging to track progress accurately. Without standardization, different clinicians may use varying methods, equipment, or assessment criteria, leading to discrepancies in the data collected.
Through continuous review and enhancement of our clinical practices, pathways, and research, we are committed to improving rehabilitation strategies and outcomes for knee injuries.
