Establishing muscular-function assessments, through agility and balance tasks, that can properly differentiate individuals with ACLR from healthy, active individuals may permit clinicians to detect deficits that increase the risk for poor outcomes. Objective To compare lower extremity agility and balance between patients with ACLR and participants serving as healthy controls. Design Case-control study. Setting Controlled laboratory. Patients or Other Participants A total of 47 volunteers in 2 groups, ACLR (9 males, 11 females; age = 23.28 ± 5.61 years, height = 173.52 ± 8.89 cm, mass = 70.67 ± 8.89 kg) and control (13 males, 12 females; age = 23.00 ± 6.44, height = 172.50 ± 9.24, mass = 69.81 ± 10.87 kg). Main Outcome Measure(s) Participants performed 3 timed agility...
