At the end of the rehabilitation (averagely 8\u00a0months post\u2010reconstruction), self\u2010reported knee function (KOOS sum scores), fear of loading the reconstructed knee during a sporting activity (RSI\u2010ACL questionnaire), and fear of movement (Tampa scale of kinesiophobia) were followed by hop and jump tests. Front hops for distance (jumping distance as the outcome) were followed by Drop jumps (normalised knee joint separation distance), and concluded by qualitative ratings of the Balanced front and side hops.
