The cornerstone of rehabilitation following an anterior cruciate ligament injury, whether it is treated surgically or managed nonoperatively (ACLR), is the restoration of quadriceps strength. Several measurement options exist, such as measuring isometric or isotonic strength, the latter being the gold standard. A limitation of these goldstandard measurement methods is that they require specialized and oftentimes expensive equipment. Hop tests have been previously found associated with quadriceps strength, but in the initial phases of an ACL injury, these are inappropriate to use. Onerepetition maximum testing and dynamometry can be used, but also require specialized equipment. Since this is not always accessible in the rehabilitation context, it would be interesting to develop field tests that can reliably measure strength. The oneleg rise test is such a field test that has been developed to assess quadriceps strength after ACLR, but to know whether this truly reflects someone’s quad strength, this study was set up.
