Subjects completed our multimodal Institutional RTS testing battery which included testing of hip and knee range of motion (ROM), isokinetic quadriceps strength, and core trunk muscle strength (Bunkie test), as well as balance testing on a force plate. Balance metrics predictive of Institutional RTS test findings for the involved leg were identified using multivariable regression with stepwise selection.

Multivariate multiscale entropy (MMSE\n xyz<\/jats:sub>\n ) of the involved leg was predictive of knee flexion active ROM (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = .02) and Bunkie stabilizing test score (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = .03), MMSE\n xyz<\/jats:sub>\n of the uninvolved leg was predictive of Bunkie lateral and medial test scores (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = .02 and\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = .02), and interlimb symmetry of MMSE\n xyz<\/jats:sub>\n was predictive of triple jump test score (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = .007). Interlimb symmetry of the COP\n x<\/jats:sub>\n shift balance metric was predictive of hip internal rotation active and passive ROM (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = .008 and\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = .03) and step-down test score (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = .004).\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n Force plate-based balance testing metrics are predictive of some return-to-sport test findings including knee flexion ROM and Bunkie test scores, but further analysis is needed to identify balance metrics predictive of quadriceps isokinetic testing and muscle flexibility testing results.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1097\/bh9.0000000000000023","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,4]],"date-time":"2026-02-04T21:00:33Z","timestamp":1770238833000},"page":"139-145","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Comparison of multimodal return-to-sport testing and force plate-based balance testing among anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction patients"],"prefix":"10.1097","volume":"83","author":[{"given":"Dhruv S.","family":"Shankar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Heather A.","family":"Milton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ciara","family":"Ostrander","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Luilly","family":"Vargas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kirk A.","family":"Campbell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Guillem","family":"Gonzalez-Lomas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"R1-20260205","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"601","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jvs.2007.04.050","article-title":"Diagnosis of thoracic outlet syndrome","volume":"46","author":"Sanders","year":"2007","journal-title":"J Vasc Surg"},{"key":"R2-20260205","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"128","DOI":"10.1136\/bjsports-2016-096836","article-title":"Eighty-three per cent of elite athletes return to preinjury sport after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: a systematic review with meta-analysis of return to sport rates, graft rupture rates and performance outcomes","volume":"52","author":"Lai","year":"2018","journal-title":"Br J Sports Med"},{"key":"R3-20260205","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2226","DOI":"10.1177\/0363546517704834","article-title":"Performance-based outcomes after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in professional athletes differ between sports","volume":"45","author":"Mai","year":"2017","journal-title":"Am J Sports Med"},{"key":"R4-20260205","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"917","DOI":"10.1007\/s40279-019-01093-x","article-title":"What is the evidence for and validity of return-to-sport testing after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery?
