3 Home Tests Before You're Cleared to Run After Knee Injury

Running on a weak quad cheats your good leg and invites re-injury. Pass these first:

Tests

• Single-leg sit-to-stand 8 reps without wobble
• Quads symmetry at least 90% on handheld (we test in clinic)
• Hop distance within 10% of the other leg

Tick all three for two sessions in a row? You're ready for walk-jog intervals. See our ACL protocol.
