However, due to space, time, and financial limitations, few clinicians utilize objective data to assess their patients\u2019 functional abilities after ACLR.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Purpose:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To identify validated and feasible RTS tests that could reliably estimate the risk of reinjury after ACLR in everyday clinical practice beyond the highly sophisticated laboratory setting.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Study Design:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Systematic review; Level of evidence, 4.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A focused review was performed by experts of the committees for Ligament Injuries and Prevention\/Rehabilitation of the German Knee Society. RTS functional tests, their reinjury prognostic values (if known), their reliabilities, and their implementation capacities were extracted from the original studies on the described RTS test setup, as well as from studies on potential test alternatives. These alternatives were required to be less resource-consuming yet still validated and thus able to be implemented into everyday practice. All tests were categorized according to their relevant target objective: isokinetic or isometric strength, functional (hopping and jumping) ability, or self-reported readiness.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In the final analysis, 19 studies involving 7513 patients were included. From these, a total of 21 RTS tests were retrieved, and 13 tests were included. For strength testing, 2 dynamic tests and 1 static test were found to be eligible. Functional ability was represented by 8 different jump, hop, and agility tests. Tests for self-reported readiness included the ACL\u2013Return to Sport after Injury scale and the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score Sport and Recreation subscore. Alternative tests included the 8\u2013repetition maximum test, handheld\/portable dynamometer, single-leg vertical (countermovement) hop with inertial sensor or smartphone app, and the drop jump with knee displacement or normalized knee distance measurement.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>For most of the strength and functional abilities assessed by RTS tests, validated and less resource-consuming alternatives do exist.
